Conferences are so large now because two-divisions makes it manageable. With more teams in conferences,(like 14) without divisions and a chance to pit division winners against each other at the end, the chances of teams not playing each other and ending up with identical records goes way up. So you end up with, for example, three really good SEC teams having one loss and it is basically decided by a coin toss. Meanwhile, in a down year in the Pac 12 a middling three-loss co-champ gets in. You really don't see the problem? You really don't see how UGA missing out and UW getting in this year is a shit show? Or Western Michigan getting in over a team that had the bad luck of being in the same conference as Clemson or Alabama, but was worlds better than the Cinderella Broncos? It's a bad idea. Sorry. It just is.
