8 team playoff rotating in the 4 BCS Bowl Games (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta). Each Bowl would get 2 games except for the rotating Bowl that gets only the national championship game. The games would be played over a 4 week period from early December thought the first week in January, with the 3rd week (probably Jesus weekend) being the bye before the national championship game. The 6 BCS conference champions would get an automatic bid, with the other 2 at-large bids being determined by the BCS rankings. Here's an example for the 2007 season. (all times Central!)
ROUND 1:
ROSE BOWL Saturday December 15th, 7pm
1. Oklahoma (12-0; Big 12) - 41
8. Louisville (10-2; Big East) - 30
FIESTA BOWL Saturday December 15th, 3:30pm
5. Florida (10-2; SEC) - 24
4. Miami (11-1; ACC) - 10
FIESTA BOWL Friday December 14th, 7pm
3. Wisconsin (11-1; Big Ten) - 22
6. Texas (10-2; at-large) - 21
ORANGE BOWL Saturday December 15th, Noon
2. USC (11-1; Pac-10) - 33
7. Michigan (10-2; at-large) - 37
ROUND 2:
ROSE BOWL Saturday December 22nd, 6pm
1. Oklahoma -28
5. Florida -32
ORANGE BOWL Saturday December 22nd, 2:30pm
3. Wisconsin - 23
7. Michigan - 27
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP:
SUGAR BOWL Saturday January 5th, 7pm
5. Florida - 31
7. Michigan - 34
I know this isn't the best possible playoff system, but it seems like something realistic that the NCAA might actually get to.
