Well, the BCS standings are out and everyone is either complaining or defending which teams are where. So I thought wouldn't it be great to travel back to 2007 just at the end of the regular season but before the bowl games and implement a playoff. This playoff will be a 16 team playoff and is based on the BCS standings at the end of the 2007 but before any bowl games took place. It's the BCS rankings as of Dec. 2, 2007. All teams have 13 days to prepare for the first team then it is every Saturday after that with one week off for the NCG.

I will be including home field advantage and weather effects in the simulation. The weather will be based on the typical weather for the season and the region. Feel free to check over my teams and make sure everything looks right. I will update this post on Thursday the 23rd just before the Thursday night game.
Remember this is all simulation based and is all for fun. I will run the simulation once per team. None of that running it 100 times and taking the average. Each team has one shot and one shot only just like real life. Hope you guys enjoy and can't wait to hear the opinions.
Like I said before if anyone sees anything wrong or has a suggestion feel free to let me know your thoughts.
Ok I just added in the weather. I just used a random number generator for the precipitation, temperature and wind.

Well according to the sim one team would have stayed the same but one team would have been different. Although we did get the same conference.

Well, it looks like even ina simulation Ohio State can't beat an SEC team in a bowl game. Oh well, I hope everyone enjoyed what could be the greatest playoff system if they would ever implement it.
