This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

None for me, thanks. by cmhirish

10 teams per conference, everyone plays 9 conference games and steps out of conference for 3 games. The schools can sort out who lands in which conference.

With a 12 team playoff field, I'd stipulate you're not playoff eligible if you haven't played 12 FBS opponents.
I'd grant a playoff spot to 6 conference champs (since conference championships seem to be of such importance to these codependents).
The other 6 playoff teams would be at-large & selected in a manner similar to as has been done for the playoff the last few years, as would playoff seeding.

Unfortunately, it would never work because it would force the self-proclaimed worldwide leader and the other networks to get more creative with their contracts for media rights; it would eliminate too much revenue from unnecessary conf championship games; it would eliminate too many guaranteed wins from schedules; and it would cost the cupcakes too much revenue.


I liked college football a lot more when I was a kid.
