So, we have the SEC, the PAC12, the ACC and the BIG10 conferences represented.

Let the speculation begin.

As a Washington fan, I look forward to playing a great Alabama team.

The B10 needs to update their tie-breaking rules so a two loss team doesn't jump in front of a one loss team because of the (over simplified) head to head rule. B10 should use the same criteria for their championship game as the National Committee used in picking the top 4 teams for the playoff. Ohio State with 1 loss should have played Wisconsin for the B10 Championship. BTW: The overhead view shows JT made the yellow line before flying backwards = First Down

Take the Division I-A Conferences and condense them down to 8. Don’t want to be in a conference? Fine. You don’t have to play for the national championship.

At the beginning of the season it will be determined by random drawing which conferences will play each other in the first round. After the first round a drawing will determine who plays each other in round two.

Playoffs and championship will take 3 games. If the teams all play 10 games, plus one to determine the conference champion, the season will be a very reasonable 14 games.

The major “bowl” games will be rotated through the playoff games, so there will still be “bowl” games.

Minor bowl games can be between the also rans, pretty much like they are now.

There, solves that...
