My New College Football Conferences

Teams are moving in and out of conferences, the Big 10 has 12 teams the Big 12 has 10, what will happen next? Well I have no idea, but this is what I would do if I ruled college sports. 4 16 team conferences, 8 teams in each conference, you play each team in your conference (7 games) three cross over games, so 10 conference games total, then two non conference games to get to 12 total regular season games. Then you would have conference title games, and bowl games, with a plus 1. The four conference champs would play each other in the semi finals, and then a title game would be played. The two non conference games, one would be a game against another team from a big 4 conference, and the other could be either a cup cake game or a game against the rest of the teams that would make up the MAC, Sun Belt, Conference USA, ect.

Note: I don't care what you call the divisions, east-west, north-south, as long as it isn't leaders and legends.

Boston College Rutgers, Syracuse, South Florida Louisville and UCONN will join Conference USA, as Houston and UTEP move to the Mountain West. The other conference would stay the same, and can still play in bowl games, as could members of the main conferences that didn't make the title game. So the bowl system is still in tact, but you get a national champ, that earned it on the field. Thoughts? I'm right, you're wrong.
