First of all, leave the BCS Formula, it can get the playoff teams:
After the regular season is over, before the bowl games pick the teams they want in their bowl games take the top 10 teams:

10 plays 3 In 6th best bowl game
9 plays 4 In 7th best bowl game
8 plays 5 In 8th best bowl game
7 plays 6 In 9th best bowl game

Winner of 6th best bowl game plays winner of 9th best bowl game in 5th best bowl game – BCS Bowl game 4 here….

Winner of 7th best bowl game plays winner of 8th best bowl game in the 4th best bowl game – BCS Bowl game 3 here…

Winner of 6th best bowl game plays BCS Number 2 ranked team in the 3rd best bowl game – BCS Bowl game 2 here

Winner of 5th best bowl game plays BCS Number 1 ranked team in the 2nd best bowl game – BCS Bowl game 1 here

Winner of 6th best bowl game (BCS Game 2) and 5th best bowl game (BCS Game 1) play in the National Championship game.

In order to work, the BCS games would have to play BEFORE January 1, so the Rose Bowl may be upset about that…
however, if they spaced the games out enough, it would elimiated the 4 to 6 week break the players get keeping them fresh. the first and second rated team get a bye, therefore the regular season means EVERYTHING.
BCS Ratings and AP Ratings do not re-figure until ALL THE BOWL GAMES AND THE NC GAME is finished. That way if the number 3 team looses they don’t fall to 5 or 7 and mess up the ones that were already in that spot…

Allow resale of tickets too so fans can buy the tickets they want then trade or sell their tickets if their teams do not make it to the game that they fan bought the ticket for.

For those that say their is not enough planning time so the fans will not make it, that is bull. I have yet to see a NFL Playoff game not have HUGE Ticket sales.

The National Championship game would then take on more meaning.
If needed drop teams 9 and 10, and insert teams 1 and 2 one week earlier so they have to prove themselves even more.
8 team playoff or 10 team play off.

the bowl games can be used to attain a National Champ, AND the BCS can keep their format, just the games will have to be moved to end of November all the way through Jan 4th or 5th or whatever.

I have given this a lot of thought and I cannot see any faults in it except teams afraid of playing more than 13 games.

Oh yeah, Finals.
Have Finals for the players AFTER their bowl game is OVER, whenever that is. OR BEFORE IT. Make concessions for them.

At least that way we’d shut up all those that say so and so would or could have beat so and so. They can all play each other. If they don’t make the top 8 or 10 they have no reason to even talk. Also, have concession years. If there are 10 teams some how that are all undefeated before the final season can be up, play the lowest rated teams against eachother… 7 plays 10, 9 plays 8, then 2 teams will have a loss the other two teams fill out the top 8. That is if there is a top 8 playoff only. If there is a ten team playoff that would not matter. I don’t think it is possible though that 10 teams go undefeated. Ever.

Also this would allow any team that could make it to the top 8 or 10 whichever, to play in a BCS game, no matter what conference. BYU, Boise State and TCU could all get in if they were in the top 8 or 10 again, whichever.

Preferrably, I’d only go with the 8 team playoff.
Otherwise the regular season would start to be meaningless.
