Southern Discomfort
An excellent article about the current state of affairs in college football.

I've long felt that, by and large, the true football powerhouses rest in the southern 50% of the nation. Yeah, the Big 10 will usually field a strong team, and there are the occasional uprisings from a PAC 10 or Big East team. But look at the top 10 teams, and put pins on a map. The BCS wants conference affiliation to matter. If the third best team in the SEC is better than the best team in the Big 10 (or vice versa), that team deserves the big bowl bid, period. If Florida, Florida State, and Miami are the best...then they're the best. If it's Michigan, Ohio State, and Nebraska, then so be it.

Anyway, here's the article in case anybody really gives a shit.

Go Hokies!

16 teams. Play the championship game the weekend between the NFC/AFC title games and the Super Bowl (a deal would need to be struck with the NFL to make sure they don't take out that week, as they do from time to time). Auto bids for the 11 conference winners, like the b-ball tourney. 5 at-large bids.

Never happen. Makes too much sense.

Plus, certain whiners would start their incessant caterwauling about how it extends the season on college students, makes them more likely to get injured, ad nauseum.

Also, you may as well go ahead and amend that to read, 11 conference winners, 4 at large bids, and Notre Dame.
 
Yeah, we all know the college basketball season doesn't span two semesters, including games during the school week, plus a tournament that draws an incredible amount of interest...and money. It would never work for football!
 
I would just do the top 16 ranked because some of those conferences are weaker than church social punch.

SEC, ACC, BIG 12, BIG 10, Big East, PAC 10 are the ones stuffed with the permanent powerhouses, most with several contenders at once.

WAC? Sun Belt? Mountain West? Mid American? ... meh. You occasionaly get a shinny penny like Colorado State of a decade ago or Boise State of last year ... but to be honest... at what competition did they get their records? Beating up Hawaii? TCU? Colorado? It's not the same calibre as going through Miami, Notre Dame, and Michigan.
