If we could get down to Four Conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC), then you could get a 16-team playoff by having Conference Semi-Final and Conference Final games.
Send all the Texas teams in the Big-12 to the SEC, OU and OK State to the Pac-12, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State to the Big Ten, and West Virginia to the ACC.
SEC won’t let Texas or Baylor in their conference.
They paid Nick Saban off so OSU could win.

Okay, so Donnie Duncan and DeLoss Dodds walk into a bar... a bar run by John Boehner...
...the rest of the story kinda writes itself, doesn't it?
