Here's the way I see the 4 major conferences stack up. All with 16 teams each, 2 divisions each with a conference championship game.
- 10 game regular season schedule.
- each team plays each division team once, plus one game in other division allowing for 2 inter-conference games (among the big 4) per team. This allows to keep regional rivalries alive...ND vs USC etc.
- conference championship game.
- 4 team national championship playoff between conference champions.
- all teams other than conference champs available for bowl games.

Big 10 Michigan Michigan St. Ohio St. Penn St. Pitt Notre Dame Indiana Illinois Minnesota Wisconsin Norhtwestern Iowa Iowa St. Cinncinatti Ohio Purdue |
Big 12 Oklahoma Oklahoma St. Nebraska Missouri Kansas Kansas St. Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech TCU Houston Rice Tulsa New Mexico New Mexico St. Baylor |
Pac 12 Arizona Arizona St. Colorado Colorado St. BYU Boise St. Utah Wyoming UCLA USC Oregon Oregon St. Washington Washington St California Stanford |
You will of course note that this leaves out the ACC as a BIG football confernece with some football schools left in the cold. Nothing's perfect! ha!
