The season is already too long it is for these college kids.
The way I see it, shorten the regular season to 11 games. Let the conference champion be decided by who has the best W / L record (no conference championship games)
Take the top 8 in the final CFP rankings, and let them slug it out.
The 6 NY6 bowls can slug it out and the winner plays in the NC game, with one of those 6 bowl games being able to host the NCG. No team should play more than 14 games in a season, playoffs included.
The sponsors of the 2nd tier bowls can increase their payout.
The fact that we played 16 games this year, some of them being truly physically brutal, makes me question the length of the entire season. These are college kids, whose bodies aren't fully developed yet, and when you combine it with the rigors of being an actual student (well, at least at the Golden Dome), that's too much to ask of them.
