I agree. Follow the money and you see 50 teams in the big money crowd and another 10-30 posers before you get to teams hanging on to FBS elites coattails by getting paid $800k to take a dive.
The thought of 12 real games and a pair of 10-2 teams in the champ game makes me happy. (The #10 team in the country would probably be 8-4)

Just wondering... have you ever played college ball before?
The idea that you have to play 12 hard gauntlet games while not being paid and going to class/exams/etc is a brutal one.

Stupid. Service academies. Boise State. Classic in state rivalries. etc....
You can do things that promote more games among the 50 teams you view as "big money"... but Boise State beat Georgia. Colorado State beats Colorado. Navy plays Notre Dame. The service academies play eachother. #MACtion is awesome.
You can do scheduling alliances and stuff, and at the end of the day do what makes money. If it is economical to get rid of shitty double directional schools and add an extra conference game for your conference network, at the expense of lost gate revenue, do it. The way I look at it... The SEC West is a tough as shite conference on its own. Sprinkle in another SEC East or two, and that accomplishes the same thing.
