For the BCS bowls this works well but how "sacred" is bowl-bidding? It would be no trouble keeping the 27 non-BCS bowls more "traditional." Is there a monetary factor here as well? Another random comment is that currently teams complete 12 or 13 games within 14 weeks. This means two(!) bye weeks for each team. And teams can schedule a cup-cake or intra-conference rival for that 13th game while keeping their important bye week. Why are you making bowl ties rigid?

Since the BCS conferences (including the newly created Rocky Mountain Conference) would get the top-four teams from their conference to compete in the BCS Bracket, which would determine the 5 BCS games and the remaining upper tier bowl games. The two teams finishing undefeated (4-0) in this 32 team bracket would be paired in the national championship game. From here it gets a little tricky. I'm sure your making the mistake of following the traditional bracket. In my recommendation the remaining teams who finish with one-loss (3-1)in the BCS Bracket would earn the remaining BCS Berths. The tricky part is that it doesn't matter when the loss occurs as long as they finish 3-1. The loss could occur in the first round, second round, third round or the final four semi-final round. You're not out of the running for a BCS Berth if you happen to drop a game, thus keeping the sacred cow concept that every game is important and a playoff in itself. Here's what I would recommend. Go to darters.com and print yourself off a 32-team bracket and you can fill it out a bunch of different ways, with all sorts of different winning combinations, but as long as a winning team continues to play another winning team and a losing team continues to play another losing team, it will begin to make sense.

Thanks for the kind words in your comment at "The Nasty Boys," it is MUCH appreciated and I have linked to both of your sites as you requested.
