Crimson And Cream Machine's 2010 Pretend College Football Playoffs - The First Round Match-ups

College football's bowl season officially kicks off on Saturday so once again its time to show the powers that be just how easy a playoff could happen. I realize that there are several formulas out there for a playoff but this one is mine and it couldn't be simpler as it uses both the BCS rankings and the current bowl system. It just makes them worth something by taking the top 8 teams and letting them play for an actual NCAA championship like every other sport gets to.
