"Back To The Future". Cue up the Huey Lewis and News right now, baby.

If someone had the power to do what is suggested here, why not go all the way? I'd dial it back to the days of small conference round robin play. Go back to the days when the SWC was intact, and build from there. I think the SEC and B1G would love to go back to 10 members. Have every conference have 11 teams (10 games. 5 home, 5 away, 3 OOC games) SWC Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Arkansas Baylor TCU (add 5 to get to 11, possible adds: Utah, BYU, SMU, Houston, Rice, New Mexico, Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane, et al) Big 8 Oklahoma Nebraska Oklahoma State Colorado Kansas Kansas State Missouri Iowa State (add 3 to get to 11, possible adds: BYU, Utah, Boise State, Colorado State, Wyoming, North Dakota State, Montana, et al) Big Ten Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Purdue Indiana Illinois Northwestern Minnesota Wisconsin Purdue (add 1: Buffalo, Stony Brook, Toronto, McGill if you buy into the AAU thing) Pac10 USC UCLA Stanford Cal Oregon Oregon State Washington Washington State Arizona Arizona State (add 1: Fresno State, SDSU, UNLV, Utah, Boise?) SEC Florida Georgia Tennessee Vanderbilt Kentucky Alabama Auburn Ole Miss Mississippi State LSU (add 1: Louisville or East Carolina?) ACC Clemson Georgia Tech North Carolina NC State Duke Wake Forest Virginia Maryland Florida State (add 2 to get to 11, possible adds: Louisville, Cincinnati, Memphis, Tulane, Southern Miss et al) Old Eastern Independents/Big East Penn State Pitt Boston College West Virginia Syracuse Rutgers Miami Virginia Tech South Carolina (add 2 to get to 11, possible adds: UConn, East Carolina, et al) All champs get an auto bid to CFP. Save another slot for G5 (best of the rest). 4 at-large for independents or conference runner-ups or an additional kick-ass G5. Tournament would be better. Regular season would be better. Drop the conference title game and just give everyone an extra OOC game. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 7/19/2023, 4:50:46 PM

It's a great idea - pool the media money, and let schools keep their post
