It is amazing to think that some of these teams are this level of bad. For example, Rutgers is not a surprise to be this bad, but too be that bad that means even their non-conference games they have to be losing. At a certain point, I have to begin to wonder is having a football team worth the cost if we can't be competitive. 

While I get conferences are about helping to build brands, make scheduling easier, helping build rivalries, etc. As always, I am going to suggest the ideas of promotion/relegation on a two year cycle. If you started with a 10 team conferences and took the top 10 from LAZ's other post (Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia, Wisconsin, Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan). I think that would be an exciting conference and probably more exciting for a season that college football currently is. 9 games would still allow 3 non-conference games against a traditional rival or a cross-country game of some sort. 
 

As I can already hear the SEC homers upset that 4 Big-10 teams could get in the top conference, well after two years, if they aren't the top, they would move out and somebody better replaces them.
