What's this?

The only way I see to fix number 7 is to add more top schools and form your

own entity. They would have to completely break from everyone else. That way you are not competing with undefeated or one loss schools with lesser competition. Then you are more like the NFL where 2,3 or even 4 losses could be acceptable. Otherwise, the SEC will be constantly fighting the battle that SOS should cause their 3 loss team to be ranked ahead of a 1 loss Boise, etc..
