Or we could just use the current conferences give them each a playoff spot and let them play the games.  The only change needed would be to insure there isn't an odd number of conferences.  No at large bids.  Win your conference or go study for your final exams.  Period.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

For four 16's, I would go the seven in your own division, four from the other and one from each of the other three conferences.  Should be able to keep most of your classic matchups intact, give every four year class a chance to play home and home against the other division as well as their own.  The three non-conference games should be decided on some sort of strength of schedule metric using the previous year as determinant.  That's 14 games and puts you at Thanksgiving.  You could have this all wrapped up by New Year's Day.

I say we just determine the national champion with a magic 8 ball.

Isn't that how we did it until this year?   :-\

Well, for 16 years we've "settled it on the field" by matching up #1 & #2.

Similar but I want it to be a nationally televised event with pre-shake and post-shake commentary and reactions from the experts.

Sure but they were "1" and "2".

It would've been better if they'd been on marionette strings attached to Jerry Jones, but otherwise yeah that's about right.

Yes they complained about the interference, but detroit avoided getting any calls on roughing the Dallas kicker.

For those of you not watching the Pats-Ravens, you missed a game for the ages.
