I'm only sort of joking!!!

Yeah, I think the new conference are too large, especially with no divisions / structure.

I think there are two things coming...
1) playoffs IN the conferences
2) cutting out some dead weight

If the P2 really do split off, with around 36 teams (maybe 40, but I doubt as many as 48), then you get both of those happening.

They you can have some playoff like games in your conference (Divisional championship like games, and/or wildcard like games), and you can get rid of some of the dead weight in the current P2.

I don't think this is good for BYU, so it's not what I'm hoping for, BUT I do think it is pretty likely.
