For those insistent on second chances for those not getting their work done the first time, as an alternative, I would give each conference a playoff spot and let them decide who their representative should be - the champion or some higher ranked conference runner-up.

This sounds like a terrible idea. Anytime a conference champion got bumped for anyone else, there would be legitimate cries of foul play. How could you as a conference justify sending one team, and not choosing your league's champion? And you know a conference would probably do that at some point under your scenario.

USL most certainly should be referred to as The University of Louisiana. Always, and forever.

Yep. My point was that any conference champion of "legitimate" conferences in the pool should be favored over, say a team that finished second in its division and didn't make the conference championship game. If that respective league feels that team's exclusion is so unjust, let them replace the conference champ in the playoffs with that team. It was sarcasm.
