That 4 team pod thing is crazy and would be bitched about forever.

It is the next logical (if not unavoidable) step when you have the development of megaconferences.

This would allow a four team, two game conference playoff for the conference championship (which will make money just like the CCG introduced in 1992).

The frequency with which some teams play each other will be decreased - but with 16 teams, 4 pods, 1 permanent out of division opponent, you would still have four rotating out of division games per year and that would allow you to get through the rotating 11 teams within six years (very nearly the same timeline we saw with a 12 team sec)
