Based on the previous season? Ok, so next year, we would know to seed Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan and Washington among the dogs?
I have a better idea. One team per conference, with no conference championship games. Play a conference roundrobin and the team with the best record is the champion. Win your league or stay home.
Yes, the bloated television marketing consortiums would have to break up and convert back into real conferences. This would be a good thing. But the powers that be will do the opposite. How long will it be before Texas and Florida jump to the Big XX, because they represent the two biggest tv markets not already in that league?
Personally if it were up to me, I would go with Pro/Reg like Soccer, you’ve got 135 Division 1 teams. I would create maybe 5-6 levels. With each team playing ever other team in their level.
The Top-Tier would be 12 teams, who all play each other, at the end, the top two teams would play each other at the home stadium of the team that finished top of the table.
