Cut regular season games to 10

No one who has been watching college football for longer than 15 minutes...and yeah, that includes the occasional Alabama fan...believes that the 75-100 FBS teams that would likely never sniff the playoffs in 50 years, should or would give up two games...including the revenue of one home game...just so that the top 20 can get a few more playoff appearances.

Just in the SEC alone...Vandy, Ole Miss, Miss. State, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina likely would still almost never sniff the playoffs. Then you have the ACC...Wake, Duke, NCState, UVA, BC, Syracuse, Ga. Tech, Louisville, Pitt. Then the other conferences. On top of that, the 60 teams of the Group of 5, 95% of whom would never have a chance to be in the playoffs, along with the 5 independents not named Notre Dame.

No way in hell the 80% of the FBS who would never sniff the playoffs in 50 years, even if it was 16 teams, are going to cut their schedule by two games. It's a non-starter.
