Ok so each conference has two divisions of 8 teams. Each team plays round robin within their division for 7 games. At the end of this, all teams are ranked 1-8 within their division. Teams 1 and 2 play teams in the opposite division in a 4 team playoff. So in division A and B, team 1A plays 2B, and team 1B plays 2A. Winner of that game meets for the conference championship; meaning the game could have participants from the same division. Also the losers of the 1st rd play to establish 3rd and 4th place in the conference.

This would happen for every 2 places within the division (1A, 2A, 1B, 2B) (3A, 4A, 3B, 4B) (5A, 6A, 5B, 6B) (7A, 8A, 7B, 8B) so that is 9 in conference games. The 3 remaining games are viewed as non conference whether they are played across conference or not. (Basically prevents teams from being penalized for playing a tough schedule or having a traditional opponent in the other division they would like to continue to play)

Then you have a 4 team playoff with each conference winner moving on. The rest of the teams play in traditional bowl games.

No more BCS, polls won't mean shite. Pull the plug on computers. Settled on the field.
