If I was King of the BCS, we'd have a great tourney

if "Basketball is a completely different animal than football", then why the hell are we trying to make it the same?? A multi team tourney with at larges is nothing more than march madness.

Take the BCS out of the picture and all you have is the FBS or Div 1 football. At that point all conferences are exactly the same. WAC is the same as the Big 10 is the same as the MAC is the same as the SEC, etc.... Sure the brand of fb is different but its no different than what is in the FCS.

Its simple - win your conference and you're in. Do what you need to do then take it to the next level. If that means Toledo goes instead of UT because we didnt win the SEC, so be it. We should have taken care of our business not worrying about what Toledo did or didnt do. They won their conf and earned the right to advance. We didnt.

If you want the national championship to be the best team then you only take the best teams. Being #2 in your conference isnt the best.

This is the only sort of playoff I would ever even consider being in favor of, because its the only sort that preserves some semblance of integrity and excitement for the regular season.

If all the FBS schools could ever get their stuff together and get into 8 conferences of 12, 14 or 16 teams, all of which play a conference championship game that feeds it's winner into an 8 team playoff, then they might be onto a system that works. Once you have your 8 teams, they are then seeded and the playoff could begin. An exemption could be added for the once in a blue moon occurrence of an undefeated or one-loss Independent, in which years 9 teams would get into the playoff with the bottom two seeds playing a play-in game to face the #1 seed.
