He does a decent job ranking the current conferences.
SEC - 9 teams
BIG10 - 7 teams
ACC - 4 teams
PAC - 4 teams
BIG12 - 3 Teams
INDY- 1 team
We already have a super conference. Why not merge the PAC, ACC & BIG12 into 2 leagues. Basically send WV to ACC and OU and Texas to PAC, dump the left overs and call it a day. Those 2 leagues would still be weaker than the top leagues, but it would atleast be closer.

Ok then give up your precious rivalries and start playing Oregon State and Iowa State instead. Knock yourself out.
Not sure why you think Alabama can't schedule Auburn and Tennessee without scheduling a bunch of other schools.
Also not sure why you think it'll be teams like Oregon St and Iowa St rather than quality teams.
All this stuff you just literally made up and even though it's about the worse case you could come up with it's not really even that bad.
What you mean to say is the rest of the conference needs teams like Alabama and other blue bloods to keep those lower teams relevant. Not the other way around. Those teams leave and the rest of the SEC is just another Sun Belt caliber league in 5 years.

So Clemson retains a cake walk "division:...
Ohio State has roughly a 2 game schedule
This seems silly.
If we're going to go with "out there" fixes to college football... Bill Connelly (as usual) was ahead of the curve:

I think you should have a small upper tier that has few enough teams that everyone can play everyone. And then if you are at the bottom in that tier, you get the boot and the next however many teams that were at the top of the lower tier come in. I would love if everyone played everyone in terms of the top teams in college football. I’m tired of teams in shite conferences getting awful schedules where they go undefeated easily.

In the mid-2000s it was talked about a lot with 64 teams.

Uh no it wouldn't. It would be a straight forward MSU win. ANd Tennessee and SOuth Carolina, two programs that havent beaten MSU in nearly 4000 days are better than MSU? GTFO

I wouldn't discount this out of hand because we never know what changes may come. Someone posted an article in here last year that suggested that the major schools could one day break away from the NCAA and form their own league and contract, possibly with a streaming company.
None of that is set in stone of course and it's all speculation at this point but I would not be shocked if something like this eventually happens, especially with some of the stupid things the NCAA is prone to do. The big schools may get tired of their crap and set out on their own.

Maybe so. But, ESPN is driving CFB towards that very type arrangement. The only way to maximize revenues from the game. A mini-NFL complete with salary caps and all.

I hate soccer and dont want to emulate them, but part of me likes the idea. It would screw over a lot of schools who dont have the resources. As a Kentucky fan, to outsiders, its seem counterintuitve for me to support this. But, theoretically, it'd create an impetus for us to stop fricking around with football. Under Stoops we've finally gotten on board with doing things the right way and spending and all that jazz.
There arent many schools who are as successful overall as an athletics department who operate in the black who have been as historically futile as us.
I guess my point is we are one of the few schools, who given this new incentive, actually have the resources to compete, we just simply never have in the past. And its no guarantee we would. But, if we wanted to, we could. Lately with Stoops our administration has made the proper commitment.
