Would you be happy with this hypothetical scenario?

SEC Changes
SEC North:
Vandy, UK, UNC, VT, TN, USCe, UGA, Arky
SEC South:
A&M, LSU, OM, MSU, AL, AU, FSU, UF.
You play each of the 7 other teams in your division, one permanent team from the other division, and a 2 year cycle home and home with a team from the other division.
permanent match-ups:
AU-UGA
AL-TN
FSU-VT
A&M-Arky
OM-Vandy
MSU-UK
LSU-UNC
UF-USCe
NCAA Changes:
Four 16 team AQ super conferences: PAC 16, Big 10+6, SEC, and ACC. Then two non-AQ conferences: CUSA & MWC
There would be no rankings as everything would be based on W/L records.
The Conference championship games would be the weekend immediately following the final regular season game followed by a bye week before the playoff.
The conference Champions from the PAC 16/Big 10+6 and SEC/ACC would play each other at the home stadium of the host school. odd years: SEC/Big10+6 hosts, even years: ACC/Pac12 hosts.
The 4 playoff teams would end up playing 15 games total.
The final bowl structure would look something like this:
NCG in New Orleans:
Playoff winner 1 vs, Winner 2
Rose Bowl: Playoff loser 1 vs. loser 2
Fiesta: #2's from the two conferences participating in the NCG.
Orange Bowl: #2's from conferences who lost the in the playoff round.
Sugar Bowl: CUSA #1 vs. MWC #1
These bowls would rotate like the current BCS games do.
The remaining bowls pick up the rest of the teams.
This way you keep the traditions of the Bowl Games and the money that they make and also add a playoff.
Possible make-up of other Conferences:
ACC: Miami, USF, WVU, BC, GT, UVA, MD, Pitt, Clemson, Syracuse, NC State, Louisville, Cinci, Duke, WF, UCONN.
Big 10+6: Illinois, tOSU, UM, Penn St., Notre Dame, Nebraska, Missouri, Mich St., Wisconsin, Purdue, NW, Minn., Iowa, OU, OSU, Wisconsin.
Pac 12: Washington, Boise, Oregon, Oregon St., Texas, TT, Cal, Stanford, USC, ASU, AZ, Utah, Colorado, Kansas St. ETA: UCLA.
IMO a scenario like this would greatly improve the product of college football.

You want LSU, Bama, Auburn, UF, FSU, MSU and TAMU in the same division? Oh hell no!
...Are you just trying to make Ole Miss fans cry?

I know you aligned these schools because of football, but you omitted three historically excellent men's basketball powers: Indiana, Kansas and UCLA. I think all three will be included in the realignment.

You've got to be dreaming because this is not realistic.
And then...
quote:Remember that the bowl games, especially the big bowl games, are very, very calendar dependent. As in, they are all played within a very tight holiday week. Operative words - holiday week. People can travel during holidays. People buy tickets. Bowls need people to buy tickets and fill their stadiums, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment places. Teams need in-between game times to prepare for the next opponent - the winner plays and loser plays scenario you're proposing will force calendar changes and moving out of holiday weeks to be possible. The host cities will never go for this. And the colleges might just want to ask: when will the student athletes on these teams get to begin their next semester?

On the whole I think that looks good, but maybe some minor tweaking on the SEC divisions b/c as is the SEC south would be too strong.
Four super-conferences and a four team playoff would be cool, but I wonder if there would need to be more teams to keep the non-AQS teams from screaming bloody murder.

You realize A&M is going to cost around 13-15million, right? Taking schools from conferences isn't free.
How much the SEC would have to pay of that "60m," which could also be negotiated down as with anything in any contract, is up for debate.
