[QUOTE="wma500, post: 1987048, member: 591991"] Think bigger....we're going to 20 or 24 teams. Let's say 20. Here's how it could go down: - Four divisions of five teams each. - 12 game season over 13 weeks, starting Saturday of Labor Day weekend, ending Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend - 9 conference games (4 in each division plus cross overs, preserved rivalries, etc.). - 6 team playoff, top two division winners get a bye - First round of games is on campus (#6 @ #3, #5 @ #4), on second Saturday in December - Second round is neutral sites (Indy, Detroit, Minneapolis, Vegas, Santa Clara, Tampa, possibly Phoenix), on third Saturday in December - Championship is Rose Bowl, 1/1, 2pm PST kick SEC does the exact same thing, using the Sugar Bowl as their championship Two winners meet, neutral site, second Monday in January. Other bowls, if they still exist, can select non-playoff teams for slots. [/QUOTE]
