If the sec adds OU and Ok state than they will make a play for Texas and X to get to 18. Same thing if the big 10 added OU and KU if Texas follows OU in either case, got to believe rules of conferences change.

I think this is going to be true. Once we make that kind of expansion possible then having a 4 champs model for a CFP also becomes more acceptable. What conference semi finals would allow is a process by which the 4 of the best teams in a conference have a chance to earn their place in that final four.

Every football season should have 3 progressive goals. Win your division. Win your conference. Win it all. No system but the champs only system honors those objectives. The whole idea is for the best from each region to be determined on the field and then the best of the best determined the same way.

I think that approach would go a long way to healing some of the rifts and hurt that is out there now and at the same time help to keep the sport national in scope.

This is exactly what I'd like to see--no more committee. Big 16 (or 15?) member leagues have their own playoffs and eventually yield 4 champions. Big Ten and Pac 16 meet in the Rose Bowl; ACC and SEC in the Sugar Bowl. Winners play the following week for a national crown. Every school in the P4 knows exactly what they need to do to win a national title and everything gets decided on the field.
