Why do the conferences need to be the same size?  College football was great for 100 years without that.
Everyone plays the same number of conference and OOC games.

This is if there is the breakaway NFL lite with "divisions"

that's my dream plan as well

10-team conferences or divisions or whatever term
9-game schedule

hell, I'm ok with 12-team conferences/divisions with 11-game schedule
one non-con is fine

I'd like to see some major conferences with 11 teams, some with 9, some with 14, and some with 16.

Then go back to bowl games.  Schedule whoever you want.

6 conferences with 11 schools each seems about perfect to me (such as things are now). Some fat would need to be trimmed. That's OK.

10 conference games, 3 OOC games - at least 2 P6 schools and no FCS schools.

8 school playoff - 6 champs and 2 at-large.

Peach, Fiesta, Cotton, and Orange host the quarters.

Rose and Sugar host the semis. 

Final rotates among cities across the country (North included).

The final CG would go to where the money is of course.

But we're never going back to fewer than 12 teams in the PO.

So what, who cares, why bother?  Some conferences are tougher than others.  It'll never be equal so why bother pretending like it could be or should be?

Depends on who ends up where.

The trouble is getting 11 each in the Big 8 and SWC.

Big East is tricky.

PSU, Miami and ND anchor. Then pick 8. WVU, VT, BC, Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt are in.

Cincy? Louisville? UConn?

Or PSU stays in the B1G to keep 11. 

Pac 10 adds Utah. No-brainer.

SEC sheds Arky, OU, Mizzou, Texas and aTm. Adds who?

Maybe 5 conferences at 11 is better. Trims more fat, I guess.

Yeah I don't care so much about that.

NFL Lite sucks

College football was best with conferences of different sizes and the postseason bowl games determined by deals made in seedy smoke-filled back rooms between guys in ugly sports coats.
