LIVEN IT UP ----- UNIVERSITY BOWL SEASON

It is Boring for the University Football Conferences to only play the same other Conferences every year in the Bowl Games!  Mix It Up!  Here's what I'd do:  Of course starting next year, we'll have the Four Team Playoff.  Using this years results (2013), as an example I'd place them like this.
#1 FL St vs #4 Baylor [ONLY CONFERENCE CHAMPS OUGHT TO PLAY THE FINAL FOUR]
#2 Auburn vs #3 Michigan St.  [NOTICE NO ALABAMA, AS THEY AREN'T CONFERENCE CHAMP] [NO DUPLICATION OF THE SEASONS RESULTS]
Under my system , Zero loss teams first, then One loss schools, then Two loss.  Also tie-breakers beyond the FOUR (head to head there and strength of schedule) would be, how they finished in their Conference Standings and Strength of Schedule as described in my last posting.
So down the line, and this will change year to year, not the same boring Conferences against the same other Conferences. For example SEC vs Big XII:
It will be a lot more Fun!  The Bowls can do a Bidding Procedure as to which Games they'd like to host.  So, the same old Pac-12 vs Big Ten might as well be OVER!
Here's how I pair the next top Seven Bowls.  Who'd like to see these match ups?
Alabama vs Ohio St.  --  Fresno St. vs UCF  

  Louisville vs N. Illinois    
[THOSE WERE THE REMAINING ONE LOSS SCHOOLS, NOW FOR THE TWO LOSS TEAMS]
Stanford vs Missouri  

  South Carolina vs Oklahoma  
  Oklahoma St. vs Clemson  --  Oregon vs Ball St.
It goes on down the line, three loss Schools and so on !
