Ok folks this is just for fun. I am dreaming here a bit killing time till you know what, so no need in telling me how this will never happen. I know!
What if the all time winning college football teams broke away from the NCAA and created their own league or conference? For this exercise I made the Billionaire Club Conference composed of the top 12 teams,(minus the Ivy leagues teams),with 600 wins or more as posted here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_football_teams_by_wins#Teams_ranked_by_total_wins I also exchanged LSU for Florida, since they want to complain about playing Florida every year, and God knows what they would complain about in this league!
I divided up the schools in to 2 divisions, North and South and it would look something like this -
South---- North
Alabama-----Notre Dame
Texas----- Penn State
Florida----- Michigan
Tennessee----Southern Cal
Oklahoma---- Ohio State
Georgia------ Nebraska
Now each division team would play each team in their division, 5 games. Then they would rotate every 2 years a home and home with 3 teams from the other division. That would be 8 total conference games played among themselves. And the winners of each division would play for a championship at seasons end.
That would still leave each team with 4 games to schedule,(if they wanted) out of conference for whatever purpose they wanted. As far as a BCS national championship or a playoff I would forget that crap. The Billionaire Club champion would be the National champions for all intents and purposes. Let the rest of the schools have whatever they wanted as far as that goes amongst themselves.
The reason I named my dream conference the Billionaire Club conference is obvious as it can get! Think of the money television would pay! And when you get down to it, its all about money. You could still have the top 4 or 6 bowls invite say the top 4-6 Billionaire Clubs teams to play teams from other conferences, preferably the other conferences champions. And of course you can have AP National champions voted after the bowls as well others.
If they broke away from the NCAA, they could abolish scholarship limits and even pay the players. It would in fact become a semi-pro league with all the best players being attracted.
It ain't happening I know, but it would be fun.
