You have to deal with the Bowl committee's and the University

The bowl games have made huge amounts of money this year.
Then you have the problem of a "home game" being given to a lower seed.
The Rose Bowl will not go away. Which of the playoff games do you give the Rose Bowl? Tis a mess. Heck its not just the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, they all want their piece. And they got their piece right now. I dont know how one would divy up the playoff games thru these entities (this includes the NCAA) that control everything. There is no single TV network that can come in and say hey you guys lets straighten this thing out with a playoff system and we can all make more money.
If say... NBC tried this, the Bowl would just go to a diff TV network and say NBC no longer is in the running for the money our Bowl will generate, the bidding is now between... it is a real mess.

The round of 16 and round of 8 would not be Bowl games. They would all be played at the site of the higher seed. Two Bowls would be associated with the playoffs each year as the semifinal games. Those Bowls would rotate between the normal BCS Bowls. The other BCS Bowls that aren't in the playoffs would get first choice of all teams but the 4 in the playoffs. Any year the Rose Bowl isn't in the playoffs they would get their B10-P10 matchup.
If they build it they will work it out with the TV Networks. That is the least of their worries. The networks will be tripping over each other trying to get the rights.
