The Konformist College Playoff Bowl V

It's time for The Konformist 2014 simulation of a college football playoff, and this is a special milestone year in our push for a playoff.  It is the final year of the BCS championship, which the NCAA now concedes has failed to do its job.  And while the new system will begin with only four teams, it seems that sooner rather than later the NCAA will realize the benefits (including more money) of expanding the playoffs to an opening round of four games that will lead to the semifinals.  In short, the plan that we are advocating looks like the solution the NCAA will embrace sooner rather than later.

This year, the choice for the eight finalists is a pretty simple one: the 5 major conference champs, the highest ranked champ among the non-major conferences (UCF) and the two top ranked teams that didn't win a conference (Alabama and Ohio State.)  Here are the teams, and their rankings according to the AP:

Florida State (1, ACC champ)
Auburn (2, SEC champ)
Alabama (3)
Michigan State (4, Big Ten champ)
Stanford (5, PAC-12 champ)
Baylor (6, Big 12 champ)
Ohio State (7)
UCF (15)

The five conference winners will be represented in the four major bowls they are linked to, with the Big 12 champ going to the Cotton Bowl rather than the Fiesta Bowl.  The other three spots will fill in the seedings, with Alabama facing the lowest ranked champion available (Baylor) and UCF facing the highest ranked champ (Florida State) leaving Ohio State to face Auburn.

In addition there are three consolation games.  The Fiesta Bowl will have the two top champions from the non-major conferences face off: 18th-ranked Louisville will represent the American Athletic, since the actual AA champ (UCF) is in the final eight and Louisville is still the top ranked non-major team left, and they will face 21st-ranked Fresno State.  The Peach Bowl will have the two top-ranked teams left, which will be eigth-ranked South Carolina against tenth-ranked Oregon.  Finally, the Florida Citrus Bowl will round out the Playoff Bowl series, featuring the top two teams left available, ninth ranked Missouri against 11th-ranked Oklahoma.

So here's how the 2014 games would look:

Rose Bowl
Stanford (5, PAC-12 champ) - Michigan State (4, Big Ten champ)

Cotton Bowl
Baylor (6, Big 12 champ) - Alabama (3)

Orange Bowl
Florida State (1, ACC champ) - UCF (15)

Sugar Bowl
Auburn (2, SEC champ) - Ohio State (7)

Fiesta Bowl
Louisville (18) - Fresno State (21)

Peach Bowl
South Carolina (8) - Oregon (10)

Florida Citrus Bowl
Missouri (9) - Oklahoma (11)
