RE: P5 realignment to end all realignment
My idea for full conference realignment. Each conference has 20 teams, four divisions or five. You play your division + two teams from each other division H & A. . So yes, in my scenario every conference plays 10 conference games and a two round CCP (Conference Championship Playoff). The P4 are not allowed to play a FCS opponent and it will not count toward your bowl eligibility if you do.
There will be a P4 and a G4. The payoff is 8 teams with the 4 P4 champs hosting the top G4 champ and 3 wild cards for the first round of the National Championship Playoff. The semi's and championship games will be at neutral sites and tried to keep it geographic for the two highest seeds left.
