I've never focused on shitting on you

pods have never been used because they aren't a great idea

why so much talk about pods if there's never been a 16-team conference?

because a 16-team conference hasn't ever been a good idea

This is not a good example but the WAC-16 from 1996 to 1998 basicly had a pod system.  The divisions rotated every 2 years.  Since this experiment lasted only 3 years, before 8 teams split off to form the MWC, I guess that tells you how popular it was.   

Still I think the main problem was they had to make 2 8-team divisions each year.  If the WAC-16 would have had today's options to go without divisions and still have a CCG, that would have made the schedule a little more flexible.

There HAS been a 16-team conference, but only for a brief time.

USC - UCLA - UNL - IOWA
MN - WIS - ILL - NW
IU - PU - UM - OSU
MSU - PSU - RU - MD
.
Sample OSU scheduling:
2024 or whatever:
@ IU, UCLA, @ Iowa, Wis, @NW, PSU, @Md, PU, @ UM
.
2025
IU, @USC, UNL, @MN, ILL, @MSU, RU, @PU, UM

OH THE HORROR!

because I prefer to play the same 7 or 8 teams on an annual basis
if it's a good idea for Oho St/Michigan and Michigan/Michigan St and Wisconsin/Minnesoota then it's a good idea for other teams
Ohio St - Michigan got to this point by playing every season, not just regularly
