Btw, good luck to Oklahoma! If they win against USC, they will have tied ND on the number of AP championships!

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
This is definitely an interesting concept. Of course, as an ND fan, I want ND playing tough opponents so that the games are fun to watch. Unless the Boise States of the world are consistently good, I think ND's games against it would be boring.Scheduling should be turned over to an independent body and not done by the schools.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

If done like the pros, the better you do one season the tougher your schedule the next season.

An alternative would be like soccer is done in some countries. Have two tiers, where you have to earn your way into the higher division. Of course, this would screw up the leagues.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

In a way, this is just replicating what the mid-majors are doing already. Utah and Boise State should be able to schedule tough teams just fine if they are consistently good. BYU scheduled ND, for instance, after being good for so long.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

But the key there is, "for so long", it took 10 years afte BYU won a national championship, to get a #1 team to play them.
BYU does now have a tougher schedule, ND and USC, for instance.

Cal gets screwed out of a BCS bowl.
Texas somehow gets the bid.

Auburn will call themselves the champion, like Penn State does with 1998 (I think that's the year).
1994 actually, IIRC.

I proposed this idea a while back, but no one here seemed to like it. Good to see someone else think of it.
