How To Use NCAA Football Super-Conferences To Our Advantage
All this talk about realignment in College Football and schools changing conferences and whatnot got me thinking: if the landscape of college football is changing this much, why not go for the gold?

It's no secret that of all the inventions man has had that have not been received with open arms, the BCS has to be on the top of the list. It ranks right up there with nuclear weapons and Jar Jar Binks.
While some will argue the system is as good as it can get, the truth of the matter is that without some sort of playoff the National Championship Game will be the subject of various rigorous debates no matter the participants or the outcome. In fact no system, including the one I'm about to outline, is perfect.
If conference loyalty means nothing- and Syracuse bolting the Big East and destroying the best conference in College Basketball proves- then why not take this opportunity to give fans what most want: a tournament to decide who holds the crystal football at the end of the bowl season?
The only way to do this is to whittle down the nonsense and the 2,453 conferences that currently exist to four major conferences, with teams regionally allocated. The four that made my cut to remain, in no particular order are:
1. ACC
2. Big Ten
3. Pac-10
4. SEC
To try to appease everyone, the remaining conferences could be allocated as sub-conferences within each.
Off the top of my head and only considering region in dispersing the teams, it would look something like this:
ACC (Main Conference)
Big
East (Sub Conference)
Boston College
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Buffalo
Clemson
Florida State
Maryland
North Carolina
Virginia
Wake Forest
South Florida
East Carolina
Bowling Green
Western Kentucky
Conference
USA (Sub Conference)
Iowa State
Oklahoma
Northwestern
Michigan
Purdue
Ohio State
Penn State
Tulsa
Illinois
Arkansas
Cincinnati
Akron
Marshall
Central Michigan
Kent State
Minnesota
Brigham Young
Air Force
Colorado State
Boise State
Utah
UNLV
Idaho
Nevada
Utah State
Wyoming
New Mexico
Colorado
New Mexico State
