text: I think playoffs are definetely the answer, but i'd go with 8 teams and only 3 rounds total. \n1) Ohio St. v 8) Boise St\n2) USC v 7) Wisconsin \n3) Michigan v 6) Louisville\n4) Florida v 5) LSU\n\nthen\n1) Ohio St v 4) Florida\n2) USC v 3) Michigan\n\nThen Final\n\nOhio St vs USC\n\nI don't actually think it would play out exactly as ranked, but i just used their rankings as a guideline. The point isn't who would be in the final game, but rather that there is no doubt that the real top 2 teams are in the top 8 and this way they would have a chance to really prove their worth.
