e0--routerA--s0--t1--s0--routerB--e1
<-s1--t1--s1->

e0--routerC--s0--t1--s0--routerD--e1

basically all i want to happen here is if either routerA or routerB serial interfaces go down to swap to routerC and routerD.
Or could I configure the 2 serial interfaces on routerA and B so if s0 goes done it will automatically go to s1 on both ends? (this would be the ideal solution if possible)

sorry i'm such a newb at all of this.

this is what i found on cisco.com

could someone tell me if that is the right track for solution #1
 
#2 is the easiest, and it's automatic if a dynamic routing protocol is used. EIGRP is very fast. Basically, with point-point circuites an interface failure on one side, or loss of connection, drops the route from the routing table. The next-best route is then chosen.

You can also use HSRP to move a virtual address between routers. In this case you'd have HSRP "watch" the serial, and switch the ethernet address to the backup router when it fails.
 
interface tracking will work for this

can you use interface tracking on one router? I was reading a cisco article and it doesn't look like it. See the problem that I'm going to run into here is I use bridging. To keep everything on the same network. We are working on a solution to get away from bridging but for now its what we are working with.
