Why give them a short field to begin with? Make them travel 75 yards...it’s not rocket science.

better yet, limit the right to play for the title to forty teams distributed through four conferences, ten teams per, who then play a round robin schedule, and eliminate these ridiculous conference championship games..

Sounds like you want promotion/relegation, like in soccer.

‘we need a total rethink of the entire college football season’

indeed...

‘11-game schedule, with eight in-conference and three out-of-conference games. And no more Division 1 FBS teams can play Division 1 FCS teams.’

good so far...

‘Two highest-ranked teams in the Big 5 conferences play in a 12th game for the conference championship.’

that yields 5 teams; where do the other three come from...?

‘Winners of the first four games are re-ranked. With new rankings, #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3 on New Year’s Day bowl games...’

good...but I still think determining 40 teams with a realistic shot of competing for a title and arranging them in 4 ten team conferences, with round robin scheduling would be the way to go...

‘Sounds like you want promotion/relegation, like in soccer.’

yes, what I’d like are four superconferences, either ten per, but I’d settle for twelve; consisting of schools that historically are willing to invest in chasing the title; and I’d like these conferences to be exempt from NCAA involvement and regulation...

since none of that will ever happen, have to do something else...
