Iowa St, Kansas St, Texas Tech, and Baylor would get screwed in my scenario (probably works better for the first three schools and frankly, screw Baylor). The Power 4 conference champs then play for the national title. No more stupid committee, strength of schedule, etc. and teams would be free to schedule a hard non-conference schedule without getting penalized. Non-conference games would be better, conference play would be more intense, and the conference championships would in effect be round 1 of the playoffs (ie: 8 teams). Oh, and the best part: Notre Dame gets screwed!
I agree with you about the conference consolidation, but I think they need to adopt the NFL playoff system and go to a 6 team playoff. 4 conference winners, 2 wildcard teams. 1 and 2 get a BYE, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5. That way you're not penalizing teams for getting bumped out of a major conference, and good teams who lose competitive divisions still have a shot.
