Forget the silly BCS, the polls and the bowl games, we present our solution ... the Collegefootballnews.com Championship Series, this year with simulations, results and box scores from WhatIfSports.com.

Why is the NCAA basketball tournament so popular? It's because the little guy has a shot to show what it can do against the big boys. College football should give credit to the conference champions, while allowing the top teams to still be in the mix. 

The idea is to take the eleven conference winners and five at large teams and put them in a playoff to settle this thing on the field. Use the BCS formula and take the conference champions out, then just go down the list and take the next five eligible teams with with one caveat, no conference may have more than two representatives. There's no whining. If you can't win your conference title, you can't say you deserve to have a shot at the national championship. Therefore, the regular season is still meaningful, and it might even encourage better non-conference games.

The seeds are according to the BCS rankings.
