Slide 2: 

Start with the top ranked 16 teams in Section I.

Slide 3: 

All of these teams play each other (15 games for each team). These are then grouped into the top four, middle eight, and the bottom four.

Slide 4: 

The top four teams play each other in a playoff to determine a national champion.

Slide 5: 

Meanwhile the teams ranked 17-32 also all play each other in Section II (15 games each) and are grouped into the top four, middle six and bottom six teams.

Slide 6: 

The top four teams of Section II are advanced to Section I for the next season, while the bottom four teams of Section I are relegated to Section II for the next season.

Slide 8: 

Section III consists of 96 teams divided into six Regions. Teams play all other teams in their region. Northwest Southwest South Central North Central Northeast Southeast

Slide 9:

Slide 10: 

As needed the borders of the regions in Section III will be adjusted to ensure that there are sixteen teams in each region

Advantages : 

Advantages Any of team can become National Champion within three years, not just those favored by the BCS. 128 Teams will be competing at different levels to make their way up the latter. “Strength of Schedule” will be evened out for teams at each level. If a team is undefeated, but not in Section I, they won’t be the champion. BUT they will get a shot at the championship if they keep it up.

Problems : 

Problems Focus will be more on programs than players, and then players will be attracted to the pros earlier. Also, even if a team dose awesome, they don’t have a chance of becoming National Champion unless they are in Section I. $ won’t be consistent for the BCS cartel members, but that means that it can be spread out more fairly (teams on the bottom, or teams that are relegated, can get a bonus to build up their team. “Super Schools” will have to be based of reputation, not money)
