Tulane's idea

I know that this got posted earlier, but I wanted to bring up the "what if this actually happened" idea. I think it would work really well in terms of eventual parity and more exciting post-season LINK
I know :csb:

Also, we would most likely always win the Southern Delta conference.... but would have to work hard to schedule strong OOC to have a prayer at BCS / MNC EVER based on schedule strength.
But the cutting of bowl games (among others reasons) makes this a non-starter. Doubt anyone involved that normally goes to ANY bowl game would care to lose that revenue.

so he outlines 9 divisions and they all get equal treatment as far as the NC goes. and the weak sisters, tulane being one of the weakest, will now get the same financial rewards from tv and playoff money as the big boys. let's see, how do you spell CFA. this guy is a friggin' socialist. the big boys do not need the weak sisters and will not share their revenues with them. why fight that battle anew? it has been decided already. not to mention another huge downside of this is that total revenues would actually drop and probably by no small amount. when the big rivalry games are broken up and LSU vs ULALA gets the same significance as LSU vs ALABAMA, fans will leave in droves.

Oh man, those logos. Shades of 1-AA Northwest, 1-AA Southeast, etc. on NCAA.

Tulane's idea
What a ridiculous bunch of garbage that was. Some of the divisions are ridiculously weak, while others are much stronger (Alabama, Auburn and Georgia in the same division, while LSU's strongest division rival is Southern Miss?).
And to have won-lost record be the 1st deciding factor? Alabama loses one division game against Auburn or Georgia and they are automatically behind LSU because we whipped up on the crap division we're in? That doesn't make much sense.
Strength of schedule is the next deciding factor if won-lost records are equal, but the tougher division schedule Alabama plays wouldn't benefit them because conference games don't count as much toward SOS as non-conference games. Why? That's moronic. They already give Alabama the disadvantage of having to play tougher teams, then don't even give them the full credit for playing them? What kind of stupid shite is that?
The final tiebreaker is the most moronic. A poll of the coaches of the last-place teams in each conference/division to rank the 10 conference champions? Huh? And they have to vote their conference champion #10.
And then cutting down to 15 bowls, the writer makes some hilarious choices about which bowls will remain and which will be in BCS. The fricking San Francisco Bowl and New Orleans Bowl survive, but the much more established and bigger Gator Bowl doesn't? The Houston Bowl becomes a BCS bowl, but not the far more prestigious Cotton, Capital One or Holiday?
Whoever wrote that was obviously tripping on acid or something. It would be a terrible arrangement.
