9-Game Round-Robin Regular Season followed by 16-Team Playoff.

16-Team Playoff with First Round Matchups between:
#1 LSU vs. #16 Colorado State
#4 A&M vs. #13 UConn
#6 Florida vs. #11 Tennessee
#8 Michigan vs. #9 Baylor
#7 Bama vs. #10 Washington
#5 tOSU vs. #12 Navy
#3 Notre Dame vs. #14 Maryland
#2 UGA vs. #15 Ole Miss

I imagine such a system, combined with the top two teams from each Division moving up a Division each year and the bottom two teams from each Division moving down a Division every year would make for a very exciting regular season as well as a very exciting post-season.

Division IX
WKU
UConn
East Carolina
Hawaii
Utah State
UK
UCF
Kent State
North Texas
Wazzou

Uk would go ham in this division. They would go 6-3 or 7-2 easily.

How about a plus one with the top three. Winner of the Ark/Bama game playes LSU. Or Winner of the LSU/Bama game playes Ark.
