Kings of the Roundtable - The DREAM National Title Playoff

Starting Thursday, the Kings of the Roundtable will be participating in a true Division I-A football playoff.....in a perfect world, outside the money hungry bastards (aka NCAA, university presidents, and bowl chairs), this is how the Division I-A college football champion should be determined.....

Basically I used the final BCS poll to determine who would participate in the 8-team tournament (personally I would rather have a 16-team tournament, but because of time constraints I decided to go with an 8-team tourney).....The seven games will be held at neutral bowl sites.....these bowls are as follows: Rose (title game); Orange and Sugar (semi-finals); Fiesta, Cotton, Peach, and Motor City (first round games).....

Let me explain this, I added the Cotton Bowl into the mix because within a few years, that bowl game will be held at the new luxurious Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington....plus, the Cotton Bowl was once an elite bowl game.....the Peach Bowl is held in a big time city, Atlanta - however, it has to go back to its original name - the Peach Bowl, not this Chick-Fil-A Bowl.....

Finally, I decided it would be nice to have a game up north....no better place than Ford Field in Detroit which hosted a Super Bowl.....so that is the bowl set-up....this way all these major bowl bigwigs will not be crying about the money they would be losing.....

Now to the match-ups....in addition to myself, Zach of The Big Picture, Graig of Money Shot, Jon of Complete Sports, and Virgil of Wasting Company Time will breakdown each dream match-up....since there are just 5 of us, the team with the most votes will win that match-up and move on.....our first match-up will be tomorrow when #1 Ohio State plays #8 Kansas in the Motor City Bowl in Detroit.....here are the other first round match-ups.....

#5 Georgia vs. #4 Oklahoma at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale (the winner plays the winner of the OSU-KU match-up)
- #6 Missouri vs. #3 Virginia Tech at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta
- #7 Southern Cal vs. #2 LSU at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas

We will be breaking down the other 3 first round match-ups next week.....so check back tomorrow and see who takes the first step in becoming the true National Champion of college football.....
