Well, I’ve already made the argument, repeatedly, about how the permanent rival of each team matches up with the historic strength of the programs, so I don’t see the problem. It maintains tradition and competitive balance at the same time. The traditional best teams play each other, the middle class teams play each other, and the bottom feeders play each other. Sure, there’s some variance in quality (USCe is currently ascendant, Tennessee is on a low ebb), but not enough to be truly concerning.
Teams vary in quality from year to year. Some times you luck out, some times you don't. Trying to account for that variance is a fool's errand.

By rotating as often as possible it is much more likely everyone will catch other teams in their current cycle. Obviously it won't always happen, but it is much more likely. Programs normally don't succeed at a high level one year then fall completely off the map the next year.
If our schedules are going to be based on relative strength of the programs then we might as well put all the top teams in one division euro soccer style.
Then again, I'm just afraid of Florida because I would like to play other teams in our conference more than once a decade.
