re: If College Football shrunk to 32 teams like the NFL?

3-league system consisting of 96 teams

Each league broken up into 4 8-team divisions based on geography

8-game playoff to determine league champs, top 2 from each division make it in and league 2 & 3 playoff participants earn promotion to their geographical divisions in leagues 1 and 2 respectively. They replace the bottom two from those divisions who are delegated.

There would be butthurt about initial placement but it would be naturally sorted by year 2.

Reducing scholarships for each program would make things much more interesting as well.
