seems to me we will end up with four conferences of sixteen teams
each conference will have two divisions
each division will play 7 in division games, 2 cross division games and 3 non-conference games
the conference championship game will be the first round of the playoffs (so the quarter finals)
the winners of these games move on to the semi-finals and those winners play in the finals.
issues to work out
1. realignment of the existing Power 5 conferences (which one disappears)
2. what about the non-Power 5 conferences who are now locked out of the playoffs
