Play OOC rivalry games 1st week, Ok Neb etc. last game Conf rivalry OS Mich
and end the Conference Championship games. Conference Champions are highest ranked team in the conference after the regular season. (It will cause a huge following of the regular season rankings) Also top 12 teams host the first round, which will also focus people on the regular season rankings.
Challenges that can be overcome. Money from Conference Championship games is made up from starting a week earlier and instead of 11 games, everyone has an Out of Conference Rivalry game, that’s 65 games versus 11 games, way more money$$$$$$!!!!!!!!
I have more I would like to do with the Spring game, like FBS vs FCS instead of basically an intramural game. Opening with VMI or W&M is boring or should be, but in a Spring Game it could be really good for both.

Either way, in a 24-team playoff, the regular season will be watered down.
