I would make 3 or 4 super conferences

Big 10 would have 16
Big 12 would have 16
Pac 12 would have 16
SEC would have 16

maybe you could have a 6 or 8 team playoff winners of these 4 big conferences get automatic bids while the remaining slots go to at large teams.

to fill all these conferences you take teams from the American and ACC and some of the smaller conferences.

I think the best thing to do would be for the SEC to add two ACC teams should be added to the SEC. Keep them in the East and move Mizzouri to the West. That will give 8 for the west and 8 for the east.

Big 10 would most likely suck up most of the American Conference and some from the ACC. I would move Notre Dame to the Big 10. Big 12 would mostly take from some of the smaller conferences in the planes part of the country. Houston could be a team that could be added there.

Pac 12 would also take mostly from their part of the country, Bosie for sure would go there you could add Fresno State, maybe some other teams.

Regions of the country would still have an impact on what teams are in what conference, I think I would move West Virginia to the Big 10 just to fix the geography issue they have now in the big 12.

It would take me to long to split up all the teams but this is my idea behind it.

I may also want to create a couple of big mid major conferences who could get an auto bid if they meet certain requirements, example win the conference and be ranked in the top 5.

LSU wouldn't be affected that much only thing that would change in the schedule is we play mizzou every year, also I would do away with protected rivals and have a 9 game SEC schedule. 7 division games and 2 eastern conference games, rotating schedule against the east 1 away 1 home. In this system you would play each team once every 4 years or twice every 8.

sry for the long post.

That's the critical thinking I was looking for. I want everyone to play NCAA dictator for a second and decide how you would shape college football.

What I thought about was

64 teams. 8 conferences. 4 each division. You play 7 conference games. 3 non conference at beginning of year. 10 games right there. Division winners go into playoff. Rank using head to head with other division leader from your conference.

Playoff: 8 higher seeds vs 8 lower divisions. Seeded like a normal playoff.

Pair off your other conference teams not in the playoffs and let them play one more game. Conference 1 west division #3 versus conference 2 west division #3. Something like that. That becomes the gator bowl or something. Every team would play 11 games. Championship team plays 14.

Working from your scenario

Big 10 would most likely suck up most of the American Conference and some from the ACC. I would move Notre Dame to the Big 10. Big 12 would mostly take from some of the smaller conferences in the planes part of the country. Houston could be a team that could be added there.


Big 10 wont touch schools that aren't members of the AAU, so I'd say they take two of UVA, UNC, GT, Duke. Duke may be a package deal with UNC.

SEC gets two of Florida State, Clemson, VT or NC State.

Big XII moves forward with their eastward expansion taking whichever two ACC schools the SEC didn't take along with Louisville, Pittsburgh, BC and probably Syracuse.

Curve ball comes from the PAC12, who poaches two disgruntled Big XII teams, maybe a combination Kansas, K State, Texas Tech or Baylor gets bold and jumps.

This scenario brings 4 conferences to 16 teams and still leaves a few big names out in the cold.

In all honesty, I think you get 5 conferences of 12-16 teams, not much different from what we have today, the only major movement being Notre Dame being subsumed into the Big 10, after they realize the writing is on the wall and that their bargaining power is reduced.
