I'm hoping for one of two extremes, because "compromise" will be a


lame outcome and simultaneously pretty much cause a lot of people to be pissed off who get left out.

1. Bring back tradition. Go back to the days of smaller regional conferences: SWC, Big 8, Old SEC, Old Big (actual) 10, Pac 10, ACC, Old Big East. Gonna need to move a few teams back, but so what. 8 team playoff: Auto bid for conference champs. One at large bid for an independent or a one conference runner up.

2. Be futuristic. Blow the whole thing up and go promotion-relegation. Winning talks, bullshit walks. There's a lot of ways to do it, but have multiple tiers. Just have an East vs. West title game rather than a big playoff. The regular season would be better than ever.

Of course both of these ideas would be much better than anything the execs come up with. So I doubt either would happen. I'm convinced that many of these assclowns in power get off on being the kingmakers and being the source of off the field drama.
