Another interesting idea out of the Hollywood meetings today: Keep the bowls, but instead of rotating the semifinals among them, the higher seeded conference team would host the semifinal in its 'home' bowl (Big Ten or Pac-12 teams would host in the Rose, SEC in the Sugar, etc.). I'm not sure how much home field advantage would really apply, but the real benefit here is that it would keep the Rose, Big Ten and Pac-12 happy, removing the main stumbling blocks to progress.
Also, Upshaw to Baltimore and Taylor to San Diego makes seven defensive starters from the BCS title game gone in the first three rounds. That's more than half of the thirteen who are draft eligible this year, for those of you keeping score at home . . .
EDIT: Oh, in other news South Carolina was hit with 'failure to monitor'. But really, it's South Carolina, who cares?
EDIT: Jerrell Harris, Alabama's only undrafted draft eligible starter from the title game, signed a FA deal with the Falcons. LSU's undrafted guys weren't quite as lucky, with Ryan Baker, Stefoin Francois and Kendrick Adams all unattached to teams at the moment. I'd still be surprised if at least the first two of those guys didn't get at least a look.
