With the new senate proposal more or less encouraging future re-alignment of CFB... I keep coming back to one model that I think are best for the good of the sport.

CFB needs a Pro/Rel model. Split the country into 5 regional sections with tiers going down to FCS.

13 teams in each conference. Play every team in your conference home and away (12 games).

Bottom team in tier 1 gets relegated. Top team in tier 2 gets promoted. Second in Tier 2 plays 12th in Tier 1 in a Pro/Rel playoff game.

16 team playoff with selections chosen by a backward-looking formula based on conference result in past playoffs. The Midwest has won 3 straight titles? They get 4 bids. The Atlantic hasn't won a game in 3 years? They get 2 bids.

This is probably the best true system to store regionality and fairness, but also extremely unrealistic given the total overhaul it would require.

(Conferences aren't perfect. Just something I cooked up in 10 minutes)

Update on Oregon State

Zags get a positive ruling Chauncey Wiggins in their backyard.

Thats SEC as it gets. Zags are going to be a tough test in the PAC-12 this year.

Was committed to Texas State, big loss for the Bobcats

I think the committee should value bad losses more as well. And a bad loss should be defined two ways:

- Losing to a team that isn't a top-25ish caliber team
- Large margin of defeat against a Top-25 caliber team

Kentucky losing by 4 scores to Tennessee should be treated as a bad loss. SMU losing at Syracuse is a bad loss.

We can't just throw out the losses and play "who's your best win?"
