Bowl Playoff Championship Series

Apropos of today's BCS "championship" game, check out my guest post on PlayoffPac.com (UPDATE: PlayoffPac is now offline and I've reproduced the original post below the break):

Imagine that you were given the task of designing a tournament for more than 100 teams. The tournament should provide each team with a dozen or more competitive games and ultimately produce a champion by pitting the best two teams against each other. The obvious choice is a pool-play tournament followed by a championship bracket. If only we could do this for college football.
