Isn't It Time For a College Football Playoff?

Usually I wait a bit longer to go into my "college football playoff" rant ... but it is a perfectly legit question right now. 

First off, I was praying to God that either Cincinnati or UConn were going to go undefeated.  I wanted to see if the voters and BCS computers would reject a team from a BCS conference that won every game from the National Championship Game.  Virginia and Louisville prevented that from happening.  Oh, well.  South Florida still holds my dream!

Still ... how great would a playoff be?

Of all the BCS conferences, you can really only say that Ohio State is the easy squeezy champion.  The SEC, ACC and Big XII have championship games they must navigate though [more on that later] while USC and Cal must face off in the Pac-10.  The Big East?  Who the heck knows. 

As for the three conferences with title games ... they have an extra beast of a matchup to go through to get to the bowls.  Will Oklahoma have to face Colorado again?  Boston College could get tripped up.  We'd all love a LSU-Kentucky rematch ... but is it fair that the Wildcats would have to beat LSU TWICE to get to a BCS title game???  Especially when USC and Cal face each other just once.

Every year I have my trusty dusty BCS playoff system ... and I'm debuting it again tonight.  It includes 12 teams ... with the six BCS champs invited ... the highest ranked non-BCS team ... and the five highest BCS ranked schools regardless of conference. 

ACC:  Boston College
Big Ten:  Ohio State
Big XII:  Kansas
SEC:  South Carolina
Pac 10:  Arizona State
Big East: South Florida
Non BCS: Hawaii
Wildcards:  LSU, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia, Oregon, Virginia Tech

My playoff would look like this:

1-Ohio State vs 8-Arizona State/9-West Virginia
4-LSU vs 5-Oklahoma/12-Virginia Tech
2-South Florida vs 7-Kentucky/10-Oregon
3-Boston College vs 6-South Carolina/11-Hawaii
