re: My Super Conference Plan (Long)

nothing happens to bowl games. They still invite eligible teams post season

And what weeks will these playoffs and bowls be happening? Because conference playoffs already tend to be at the ends of regular seasons (post-season), with divisions added, there will be at least one extra playoff week to settle who wins the two positions for the conference championship. Not to mention some of the smaller bowls tend to begin around that same post-season time, but these small bowls are still important economically to the host cities and to the teams invited. It's not so simple as to say - "Oh, they'll play as usual," if you really look at the scheduling weeks that are available. Quite a few of the bowls are holiday (calendar) dependent; you can't expect people to travel when they are supposed to be at work. And as an incidental concern, there are final exams for the student athletes to consider, and the start of a Spring semester (how long can a season be stretched before it bumps into the next semester?).
