The real clusterfrick in all this is the bowl system and their alliances.

If you want a radical idea, leaving the SEC is not it.

Instead, the SEC should move to expand to thirty or so of the highest profile teams in the country, then follow the NFL model. Have four team divisions set up were you play everyone in your division once and rotate the others. This would keep the schedule at twelve games and maintain the annual rivalries.

Now comes the fun part. Screw the bowls and have a twelve team playoff, again according to the NFL playoff model with a "College Superbowl".

12 team playoff would be outstanding. The bowl system was so much better back in the day where you actually had traditional New Year's Day bowls. It actually meant something back then. Way to many teams are involved in bowls today vs how it was back in the day. Purdue at 6-6 from a down big ten going to bowl explains the shitty reality.

Now this is one I've not seen before. Not that I'm advocating, but I am saying hey, good visioning of one (radical) possibility other than chucking the whole SEC - and for... what?

Wow, this is almost word for word what my brother told me the other day of what he thought should happen. Crazy.

Quick question: Is your name Josh?
