Just seems necessary if you are going to consider conference champions a big factor

I think 4 is fine if handled correctly, but there is just gonna be way too much bitching when some teams get left out.

I'm thinking about the long-term implications

More games, will mean more money, potentially resulting in more rules being changed.

NCAA football will eventually be a bunch of the same teams competing each year, bowl games irrelevant, and my biggest fear is players will get paid resulting in just a betting bid of who can pay the most to the best high school players.

It's already heading in that direction now.
