Wait a minute. You can't kick out those five! I was chastised the other day about the possibility of the blue bloods forming their own superconferences for football only. Told the biggies needed the bottom dwellers because they didn't want to play an entire conference schedule of all blue bloods. Too tough.
IMO the true solution to this is to form 5 or 6 power conferences of 10-12 teams and split off to form a higher division of football. Then have every team in a conference play each other and the champion of each conference goes to the playoff. If there's five conferences, that even allows for a wild-card spot where a second team from a conference has the shot at getting in based on some ranking system. If you make it 8 teams, that allows for 3 wild-card spots. So voting is only for those wildcard spots, the other spots have to be earned by winning the conference.
I've always thought it was entirely stupid that 1. A team like Michigan and Eastern Michigan are playing for the same national title and 2. The Michigan can play Eastern Michigan and a win counts the same as beating Notre Dame.
