10 divisions of 10 teams that are regionally clustered. Top 2 teams advance to the playoff. 4 at-large berths for people to advance out of tough divisions. Balance non-conference scheduling with an algorithm that selects for roughly equal strength of schedule and history.

This way you have a meaningful regular season, regionality, & the greedheads and Stankey are satisfied.

If you break it up into that many conferences you’re gonna get some really shitty teams getting in

quote:

10 divisions of 10 teams


5 divisions of 10 teams w/ a 16 team playoff

100 is way too many. Marginal teams like the Vandy's and NC States of the world are just SOL

No more than are gonna get in now I fear. They’d still have to win their division of 10.

They are rapidly ruining the sport.

Agree. Just don’t think we’ll ever get less than 24 once Stankey & the other greed heads get ahold of the cash.

What you are proposing makes sense but is exactly what the people driving this playoff do not want.

It’s pure crap
Look at team quality outside the top ten the last 100 years. It sucks. A money grab by big business and big education. Paul will get a big raise like the rest.
