choate has a point with all these large confences where you don't play conference members EVERY year...when UND won the BSC couple years ago one could say we got lucky with our draw?
to solve that how about
FBS is 146 schools
Five P5 conferences of 18 teams each...split into 2 nine team divisions...so you would have 8 conference games EVERY year and then your conference championship game.
Four G4 conferences of 14 teams each...split into 2 seven team divisions...so you would have 6 conference games EVERY year (plus two other "conference" games....) and then your conference championship game.
