NCAA announces constitutional convention (247sports.com)

Sounds like major changes could happen here.  They may create three "divisions", like Div I etc.

P5 > G5 > FCS

What's wrong with pods?  You get to play a home-and-home series with everyone in the conference over the course of four years.

I prefer the clean way two divisions work into a CCG.  And I would prefer to play sooners, ags, and pigs, every year.  But of course it's not my decision to make.

I do like that the pods would enable us to play everyone in the conference more regularly.

Regardless of how they decide to schedule, should be some fun games coming up.

With 16 teams to a conference, and 4 teams per pod...2 pods pair up to form a division for that year, then each division winner plays for the CCG.  The pod pairing would rotate every year to accommodate scheduling different pods.  The division would change with it.

Year 1

Pod A + Pod B = Division Y
Pod C + Pod D = Division Z

Year 2

Pod B + Pod C = Division Y
Pod D + Pod A = Division Z

Year 3

Pod C + Pod A = Division Y
Pod D + Pod B = Division Z

Looks interesting to me.  Teams would always play every team in their pod + every team in the pod they are paired with for their division.  That's 7 conference games.  Then play 2-4 teams from a pod in the other division, depending on how many conference games are mandated.

I heard the SEC is going to 7 conference games anyway with the new schools, because strength of schedule or something...

I'm still not certain the pods are capable of preserving all of the annual rivalries that SEC schools value.

And if you start putting in an extra x-pod rivalry game, then you're diminishing the scheduling flexibility that the pods are supposed to create.

Two 8 team divisions, the two last place teams have a school pick of the other teams at the end of the regular season.

This won't matter, because unlike now where a former annual rivals may only play twice in 12 years, in a pod system, they'd play every other year regardless.  
That's the point.
