What if…
Blow up existing college football conferences and start over.
6 regional divisions of 10 teams in each.
12 regular season games, 9 within your division, and 3 outside of it. Top 2 teams from each division make playoffs.
Who gets “byes”? The top 4 division champs based on a formula too complicated to explain with human language.
I’m aware that there are like 130+ FBS teams, but seriously, does the bottom half even matter?
(I realize this has no chance of ever happening.)
