Dream Playoff scenario for I-A football

I have always been partial to the FBS formula for determining a national champion. 16 teams with all conference winners getting an automatic spot in the tournament. The biggest issue for the 5 at large teams would be how to decide upon the criteria for inclusion. For this exercise, I decided to use the BCS standings and then I placed the 4 teams not in the BCS top 25 by record.


I decided to do this as an interactive poll with one round per week. I hope to get lots of votes on the polls.
Here is the list of the 16 teams in a 2011 hypothetical playoff. If the turn out is well, then I will make one for this upcoming season and keep it updated throughout the season.

1.       LSU (SEC Champs)--(8-0, 13-1)

2.       Alabama (At large)--(7-1, 12-1)

3.       Oklahoma State (Big 12 Champs)--(8-1, 12-1)

4.       Stanford (At large)--(8-1, 11-2)

5.       Oregon (Pac-12 Champs)--(8-1, 12-2)

6.       Arkansas (At large)--(6-2, 11-2)

7.       Boise State (At large)--(6-1, 12-1)

8.       Kansas State (At large)--(7-2, 10-3)

9.       Wisconsin (Big Ten Champs)-- (6-2, 11-3)

10.   Virginia Tech (ACC Champs)--(7-1, 11-3)

11.   TCU (MWC Champs)--(7-0, 11-2)

12.   West Virginia (Big East Champs)--(5-2, 10-3)

13.   Southern Miss (CUSA Champs)--(6-2, 12-2)

14.   Northern Illinois (MAC Champs)--(7-1, 11-3)
