Not far enough. Cut the rest of the dead weight and bring back the PAC-8.
Lets see. 7 conference games and 5 out of conference games. Good lucking scheduling those 5 ooc games. Liberty, UMass, Idaho State. You're as fucking stupid as Larry Scott.
See ya in the playoffs!!!!11!111!!!
We used to do 4 non cons a year and had awesome schedules
No one wants to load up their schedule with a bunch of non con P5s. Axe the SEC.
Things change all the time in college football
Even the SEC wants P 5 match ups now
The B1G has to play power 5 teams
Not quite, the BIG recently changed their stance on NO FCS.
The SEC plays 8 conf but many have a permanent rivalry match-up with a non con P5, like Florida - Florida St.
Same with the ACC plus 5 teams play Notre Dame.
It would be tough for 8 teams to try to beef up their schedules to match the other P5s where most already play 9-10 P5s as it is.
You can kiss the playoffs good buy along with all the top west coast recruits. (already happening)
Pac 8 would be the WAC!
Yeah we'll have to wait a few years but the prevailing trend is towards an 8 team playoff. That means win the PAC 8 or PAC 10 and you are in even with 3 or 4 losses. Imagine being able to schedule tough again out of conference because it will all come down to winning your conference. Schedule might even drop back to 11 regular season games to accomodate the extra playoff round. In a PAC 8 you could have a round robin conference schedule and 4 OOC games based on A-B-C-C opponents. A boon for the fans who dont want to see North Dakota or Portland State anymore.
This guy gets it
The BCS and the playoffs are killing college football
Disagree. Football officially began in 1998 with the BCS. Teams finally had to WIN championships instead of claiming them or being voted champion. The Playoffs upped the ante and made college football even better. On the flip side, it watered down the relevance of the voted titles of the past.

This almost gives me wood.
I'm mainly sick of the need to go undefeated. College football is the only big time sport where there's such pressure to win every game just to be in the conversation at the end. The best teams in the NFLdrop a game or few with extremely rare exceptions. The only undefeated NFL team of my lifetime wasnt the best team at the end. Wild card teams have dominated the playoffs and even won the super bowl. Dominant NBA teams win about 7/8 games, equivalent to 14-2. In the majors it's about 5/8 or 10-6.
Shrink the conferences back down, give everyone 7 conference and four nonconference games, and expand the playoff and there would be no reason for the big time programs not to play each other.
I think the fix is relatively simple and everyone would benefit.
It's pretty simple. Win all of your games plus the conference championship and you're in. Drop one and win the conference championship and most seasons you will get in, unless there is a crappy Notre Dame team in the mix. If you lose two games or more, no one wants to see you in the playoff competition anyway. So it works.
Lol imagine dropping Seattle, Bay Area, LA, Boulder for Lubbock, Waco, Lawrence, and Ames.
yes, that is something that the ADs and university presidents need to really pick up on... if 2 teams find that Larry Scott's innovative business model is repulsing our own teams to the point they'd rather get more exposure and money by joining a fraternity of those cities you really need to take action toot sweet.
I’ve been saying it for years... One game per season allowed against a non P5 team. 8 team playoff would help too. @whuggy made a great point that it would solve some non conference issues. Teams wouldn’t be deathly afraid of losing an OOC game.

No one wanted Utah as part of our expansion plan, and yet here we are. Plan B.
