Michigan vs Oklahoma in Sugar Bowl.....giddy up

See, now that's a game I'd be excited to see. Have we even ever played Oklahoma? I know when we played Texas in the rose that was the first meeting. We generally don't play Big12 teams.

# 4 Michigan Lost to # 2 Oklahoma in the 1976 Orange bowl 14-6 in one of the hardest hitting college games i have ever seen.. Michigan ended up 8-2-2 that year and # 8 in the country and that was the only time they played.... So we are 0-1 verses the Sooners..

pretty simple

24 teams....top 8 in BCS polls get byes

1st round: thurs-sat, 1st weekend of December in traditional bowl sites(to keep them happy),

2nd round, re-seed, games 3 rd week in december thurs-sat
in traditional bowl sites

3rd round: FINAL 4: Jan. 1st. Rose/Suger/Fiesta/Orange....keeps there interest

4th round: Semis...at predetermined sites 3rd Sat in Jan....

Final: last Sat in Jan.
 
The only playoff I'd be fine with is a top 8 playoff. Keep everything the same and just have three more games after the 4 BCS bowls. Winners of the BCS bowls face off.

I think in either Bo's or Barry's Switzer's book Barry was asked about Michigan's defense and he had high praise for Bo and Michigan. Oklahoma had on of the best defenses ever that season... They won the AP title I think that year at 11-1

alot more money with 24 teams...#20 would travel much better in a championship series, than at the timbuktoo bowl.........
24 teams equal , what, 19 meaningful bowl games....

Because a 4 loss team shouldn't have a chance at a title.

Have your bowl games, Alamo, Outback etc. But the top 8 are playing for title.
 
Up 21 and throwing half back option with 3 minutes left. Yeah okay.

8 teams...4 games...will probably have to go to Rose/Fiesta/Sugar/Orange..

semi's and final at places like Dallas/Indy/FF...rotate those venues
 
Ironically, only other time Conference USA had a shot at a BCS was when TCU was undefeated and loss in the Championship game - also to So. Miss.
