The answer is simple....

Use the FCS as the model for a BCS playoff... yes, that DOES mean the we go from a 12 game to a 11 game regular season, but its a big so what. The only people who seem to get excited about any Bowl Game besides the Championship Bowl are: The Bowl themselves and maybe thier sponsors. Really, all the Bowls games are (mostly) now in thier current usage is a glorified exhibition match. Who can blame the kids for NOT wanting to lay thier butts on the line in a game that means nothing. So Bubba and Earl can get some sort of bragging rights???? How does that pay the Mortgage? Do a playoff and make the Bowls the mechanism for the playoff games, its that simple. If the BCS committee balks, BOYCOTT THE BOWLS!

Throw in the Pitt and NY TV markets...

In due time it will happen. If we ever get hot, watch out because the FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, MA, PA, and NY television markets will mean a lot more than those in AL, MS, and LA for example.
The ACC will rise!

you must not know too many law school professors. Pitt probably gets about 40,000 per home game, and the student section usually isn't full. This is a pro-sports town

I tried to research ratings by markets, but couldn't find anything. I then tweeted Mike Humes who is a publicist for ESPN's college sports. He told me that info isn't released publicly. I then asked him if he new about the Pittsburgh market specifically and he responded "they do well... the best city for football is Birmingham, basketball is Louisville"

College football is a southern dish. Always has been and always will be. After Slive gets through renegotiating the ESPN and CBS deals, even you will be a believer.

If you weren't such a lyin' chickentroll, I'd take the time to point out that OhioSt, Michigan, MichiganSt, Wisconsin, WestVa, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oklahoma, OklahomaSt, Southern Cal, PennSt, Oregon, OregonSt,BoiseSt---(and really, none of the Texas schools should be considered "Southern Schools" in the context of your idiotic post)--- aren't "Southern Schools",but it would be lost on a lowbrow, SEC sycophant such as yourself.
College football may indeed be King in the South, but that in no way means its ignored elsewhere in the country.

but only one of those teams (Penn State) is in the north east. The Northeast really doesn't follow college football like the rest of the country does.

NONE Knows how "good" the SEC really is....

Since there is no playoff system, they are considered the best because .... of someone's opinion and a computer program's "emperical analysis"! This is so stupid its almost funny. The current method to determine the National Champion is a joke, and the Bowls WITH thier sponsors need to be boycotted until the "system" is made right.
