Every game never counted, so let’s all relax, on the every game counts, nikkas wouldn’t be playing east west state 2-3 games out the year,if that was the case, and the stadium still be packed for them trash games. honestly if they shave off one or two out of conference games, and make an conference vs conference challenge in the early part of the year, like acc vs big ten, then a week or two later acc vs sec, with like matches, last years conference winner vs last years conference winner, and work it’s way down accordingly, that way you get a decent out of conference, you cut down on some games, and with the 4 team play offs you have some semblance of a true proven winner, granted the up top have a harder schedule, but at least it’s no doubt that a usc or osu earned their spot
Or just move it to 6, you got the top power 5 and then one exception outside the conferences power 5, or a school who was on the outside looking in
