CFB is a mess, lets standardize it. 8 Divisions, 8 team playoff. Win your division get in the playoff. 16 Bowl Games + Playoff = roughly 40/80 teams make the post season. A few outside the 8 divisions can make it (UCF). MAC, CUSA, Sun Belt all drop to FCS. Schedule is round robin in division (9 games) and 3 OOC. Must be 7-5 to make the post season. Every division sends 5 teams then 8 at large teams for remaining bowl games. And no I haven't done much work today.
