Ok, I love the fact that Boise St. beat Oklahoma, but it took trick plays and a miracle to do it. Furthermore, I truly believe that in any one game setting, virtually any team can beat another. Especially if given extra time to gameplan.
However, anyone who think that Boise State could have done what Florida did week in and week out is fooling themselves. I won't accept a "who knows?" defense or "they beat who was in front of them" either. If you want to be taken seriously, it is best to schedule some tougher opponents in your season.
Edit: I am also in favor of a six team playoff system.
The number one and two seeds get a "bye." The #3 ranked team plays #6 and 4 plays five. Make those the Fiesta/Sugar. Whoever wins goes on to face tie first and second ranked team in the Rose/Orange Bowls with the winners then playing in the National Championship game.
That way, the secondary Bowl games mean something and you get a playoff system. Plus, you can rotate the Rose/Sugar/Orange/Fiesta year to year for first and second round games.
It is actually quite simple really.
As for the other bowl games, you can still have them as you currently do, nothing needs to change.
