Chances are we will have a plus one type system at the next BCS contract signing. However, years like this one make me wish they'd adopt an 8 or 16 team playoff system:
There are 11 conference champions within D-1A. In my system they all get a bid and can be variably seeded.
After that, there are 5 "at-large" BCS bids as determined by the BCS formula. Those should go to the highest rated teams regardless of conference.
Now in that utopia (there's no way it will happen), CBS, ABC/ESPN and Fox come together so that all these games would get televised on the various networks to ensure that every game is both viewable to the maximum amount of people as well as available in the home markets of each team.
The first round games would be played at the higher seeded teams' home stadium.
2nd round games would be played in the 1st tier non-BCS bowl stadiums and the previous year's championship location which will also rotate.
Semi-final and final games would be played in the BCS stadiums.
Like I said, it won't happen because it would require the networks to work together along with the university presidents and the bowls themselves, but it's a fun thing to talk about from time to time
