News [Matt Hayes] The SEC willingly flushed its conference championship game that last year had better ratings than all eight first round CFP games of the brief, 12-team era.

I hear you. Maybe make it like more formal with a key flaw before the 24 team playoff. How about calling it the AFC and NFC. They could have two conferences with the SEC and the winners get trophies. 

Now they we have a 24 team playoff, I’m not sure we need another layer of playoffs, but I’m not opposed. At this point the regular season is just round robin P4 feeding into a match madnesss style system.

If we can get a bunch of 10 team regional divisions within the super conferences that play round robin, I think that would be neat.

Just try to recreate the small conferences within the mega conferences.

I still think it’s fucking stupid to continually push to be like the NFL with divisions and such, but whatever

I demand that Texas, Maryland, Penn state, and Syracuse be in the same division

How about this, we look at the preseason rankings, and the top ten are division 1
11-20 division 2, etc etc on down the line.
