Seems like there is also a lot of momentum for the 1+7 model, which would just be awful from a competition standpoint. But since everything is about more money and more power for the guys in the fancy suits, it will probably win out.

I actually prefer the 1&7 approach. But that is not happening.
The networks want more product. So they get an extra conference game that way. They also keep some annual rivalries that matter. BAMA/Auburn, Auburn/Georgia, Florida/Georgia, BAMA/Tennessee, texas/OU, A&M/texas,A&M/LSU, texas/Arkansa,LSU/Ole Miss, egg bowl etc... nobody cares about Vandy, Kentucky, South Carolina, MSU or Missouri - so you have a lot of ways to fill in that 3rd game or make sure everyone gets one permanent that isn't brutal.
