SEC and BIG10 should take over college sports in two mega leagues.

You have 65 teams in the P5 leagues. They form two 32 team super leagues with 4 divisions of 8. To get to 64 teams in this scenario one team has to bite the dust. In this scenario I got Wake Forest being left out and Kansas St sneaking in.
SEC absorbs the state of Texas, K-St Ok-St, and the southern schools of the ACC. BIG10 become the "BIG" and absorbs PAC12, KU & Iowa St, Notre Dame, and north based ACC Schools.
Regular season 12 game schedule you play your 7 division, 1 rotating from each other division in your own league, and 2 games against teams from the other league. Each league has its own 12 team playoff. Division winners get a bye, next best 8 seeds are chosen by tie breakers to play it out, just like NFL. With the winners facing off in a College Football Super Bowl.
The power structure of the leagues would be pretty balanced for football would be pretty equal with amount of blue bloods for each league. Also keeps the big traditional rivalries intact for the most part.
SEC
SEC WEST
Missouri - Kansas St - Oklahoma - Okie St - TCU - Baylor - Texas - Texas Tech
SEC CENTRAL
Arkansas - Texas A&M - LSU - Ole Miss - Miss St - Alabama - Auburn - Vanderbilt
SEC EAST
West Virginia - Kentucky - Louisville - Tennessee - Georgia - Georgia Tech - Florida - Florida St
SEC COASTAL
Virginia - Virginia Tech - North Carolina - NC State - Duke - South Carolina - Clemson - Miami (FL)
BIG
BIG COASTAL
Washington - Washington St - Oregon - Oregon St - California - Stanford - UCLA - USC
BIG WEST
Arizona - Arizona St - Utah - Colorado - Kansas - Nebraska - Iowa - Iowa St
BIG NORTH
Minnesota - Wisconsin - Illinois - Northwestern - Notre Dame - Indiana - Purdue - Michigan St
BIG EAST
Ohio St - Michigan - Penn St - Pittsburgh - Maryland - Rutgers - Syracuse - Boston College
In this scenario the 2019 Playoffs would have hypothetically / roughly looked like this
SEC
1.LSU / 8.Virginia 9.Auburn
4.Oklahoma / 5.Alabama 12.Kansas St
2.Clemson / 7.Baylor 10.Virginia Tech
3.Georgia / 6.Florida 11.Oklahoma St
BIG
1.Ohio St / 8.Iowa 9.Michigan
4.Notre Dame / 5.Penn St 12.Iowa St
2.Oregon / 7.Minnesota 10.USC
3.Utah / 6.Wisconsin 11.Indiana
Roughly the top 3 teams based on conference record from each division made the playoff. That is WAY more attractive to watch than what we have now. It's more meaningful games. Thats what the sport needs. Even if the blue bloods win it every year. It creates drama.
As for the rest of the schools currently in Group of 5. They should form their own coalition just like this. They would get a fine media deal.

Makes for some fun fricking football in my opinion. They season will likely get expanded too. It will be a minor league for the NFL

It seems like we tried this 150 years ago with mixed results.

To make it even more fun. Split it down the Mississippi River. All teams east of river in 1 super conference and the other super conference west of the river. Could you imagine Bama, Clemson and Ohio State in 1 conference!

The East would run over the West so hard in that scenario.

Including Georgia and Florida in the mix. The East would be where all the $$$ is at. Just look at the blue bloods like Ohio State, Bama and Georgia bringing in revenue. Besides others. The only sport we probably wouldn't dominate in would be hockey.

Screw the big 10. Them and their f’ing politics almost shite canned the season last year. I also didn’t forget that days after that announcement happened the Biden campaign team ran adds with empty Michigan and OSU stadiums blaming Trump.
frick them
frick them

That was the clown commissioner Kevin Warren. Believe me no one in the Big Ten that is a football fan liked that outcome! And the clown commissioner stated today he wouldn't do anything different last year. A lot of people hate that he is there and want to see him gone now!
