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.
I don't think anyone here disagrees with you.  This is IF it's going to NFL lite inevitably, what is the most palatable model

The one with enforced parity (collective bargaining agreement, fair method for acquiring talent like a draft, a salary cap, etc) so that the "helmets" can't just hoover up all the STARZ and so the rest of the sport actually has a chance.

I don't mind NFL formatting, as long as the playoff is exclusive.  It won't be, but that would be the only saving grace.

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.
That's just dumb move it really is, the Networks/Univeristy just whoring themselves out for more coin. Guys gonna do this that many/myself have trumeted for a LONG time - https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/06/jaylon-smith-jake-butt-skipping-bowl-games-injuries-draft-mccaffrey-fournette

Before his injury, JaylonSmith was a projected high-first-round in the upcoming draft. With teams concerned he might never return to form, he slipped into the second round, the Cowboys stopping his freefall with the 34th pick. “I was going to be a top-three pick, and having that severe injury, dropping out of the first round and losing double digit millions of dollars because of that, it forced guys to think about [skipping bowl games],” he says now.

So CFB will get the best of who is left,not necessarily the best Team most of the season

Why do the conferences need to be the same size?  College football was great for 100 years without that.
Just get in the corner common sense isn't related to the matter at hand or much else in this country anymore

The gist of the future is always, and has been, maximizing dollars.  That is the prime motivation.

The other gist is to "NFLize" CFB, making it all "fair" and even and cleanly organized.  Neither will change of course, but as a fan, I frankly wouldn't mind having major indepdents and conferences with varying number of teams and rules and bowl games with uncertain poll outcomes.

But, it won't happen.

How much TV revenue would be gained if the major teams played ONLY (nearly) other major teams versus today where out of 12 opponents, maybe 3 are highly ranked, 3 more are major teams a bit down that year, and 3 are pastries?

Today, we have a kind of "game of the week" where #1 plays at #8, and maybe #3 hosts #7.  Then you have #12 playing #8, etc.  Meanwhile, a lot of the other numbers are playing #~45-85.  Those others are potential major upsets and draw eyes if they turn out to be that possibly.

In some future, number 1-10 would be playing number 2-50 or so, it could get boring?

That's what I've been saying. I don't see why Alabama needs a tune up against the Fightin' Hygienists of Lower Opelika Dental College the week before the Iron Bowl. It seems that all it does is dilute the giant trough of money they're all feeding on, and they'd be better off just breaking the top 25-30 schools off entirely and ONLY play each other. 

But the I'm told that their poor fans can't tell the difference between going 8-4 and making a playoff where every one of those 8 wins was earned and every one of those 4 losses was to a quality team, and going 11-1 where only 3 teams on your schedule can challenge you, so 9 of those 11 wins were against teams that can't field a competitive roster against you.

But there are only so many eyeballs on a Saturday.  In most weeks, there are "games of the week" which get placed in prime time periods, and they get high ratings.  Then you have some games like "UGA at South Carolina" that might be on ESPN2, and would get noticed if the game ends up tight.  Then you have UGA playing Eastern Michigan, which would be on "Jefferson Pilot" (SECN) and only Dawg fans would watch.

I'm not sure the new model has enough space to attract more viewers unless you move heavily into Thu/Fri night games.

Seems to work fine for the 32-team NFL.

It's works fine because there is no alternative, it might work fine if some NFL teams played nonNFL teams each week.  My point is that I'm not sure there is more money to be had, or not much anyway.

Would it make folks who are not fans of CFB today to watch more often?  Maybe a little bit.  Gambling might pick up.

Husker fans are crazy but a certain percentage will take a weekend off when playing Northern Illinois or South Dakota State

not when playing Iowa or Wisconsin
