Seems like a given to me. Eliminate the Conf. Championship games. Take the top 16 in the polls (or combination of polls, either way #17 dowsn't have the right to complain.) Use the bowls, 15 of them for the playoffs, the remaining 11 0r 12 for other teams as a reward, means nothing, but a get-a-way) Play over the month of Dec. 8 games, 4 games, 2 games, Champ. game Only 4 teams play 2 extra game and 2 of those play 1 extra game. Only problem, travel plans for fans, but this could be set up earlier and made available as game matchups are determined. Maybe you stretch the games out to every other week and allow for 2 weks of travel plans. Shoot, I would even attend the Outback bowl with #6 playing #11 (unless the Bulls were playing elsewhere) Share the money between the Conf.s that have teams in the 16. Wait ..... this makes sense, it CAN'T be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
