re: Saban: I want a 9-game SEC schedule, 60-70 team Division I

They need to just form the four 16 team conferences and have a few independents. No need to play a 9 game schedule. You play the 3 in your division, a permanent opponent from every other division and rotate the rest. It will work just like it was when we had 12 teams. Then you get a 6 team playoff. The two top seeds receive byes and the bottom four play in December and the remaining games should be in Jan. To be fair, the super conference should give a small percentage of its earnings to keep funding all other divisions of college athletics, but they should not be allowed to play anyone outside. Since there would be 4 non conference games, it would be ideal to play one opponent from each conference or an independent.

See how easy that was, but i did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
