conferences make their last big shift they could and it is a big could expand to the point where they turn the CFP into their own private 4 game playoff and have semi playoffs in the conferences themselves. Yes it would take an NCAA change, but that is just a formality. Then the bowls would really just become the first round of the playoffs and might even be owned by the conferences themselves instead of being independent.
Yes each conference would have to be 16-20 strong. 20 makes a lot more sense from a scheduling perspective but it doesn't take too much effort to see the BIG owning the Fiesta Bowl, the PAC owning the Rose Bowl, the SEC owning the Sugar and the ACC owning the Orange. All on New Years Day as Conference Championship Games. Big dreams, but Delaney isn't through making his changes to College Football.
