Let's have mini-tournaments.
You are exactly right. The schools must change their focus from pleasing the media overlords to developing a post-season that will benefit more schools. And I don't mean four more schools or twelve more.
Your suggestion that this looks like a tournament prompted me to imagine the current playoff remaining as it is, while using the bowl cities to play mini-tournaments all around the country. Teams from different conferences playing in a dozen, or so, four-team tournaments during December and early January would involve more teams than the current bowl system. There may not be enough interest from advertisers to fund this, so a trial year would be needed.
And the schools must be wise enough this time to engage more than one media company.
