And if the AD and the fans all had 5 to 10 years attention spans.... but they don't!

Now, I also think its probably hard to balance on less than a 3 year scale.

BUT it's also going to be interesting to see how the last few at larges are going to be picked....
IF a 10-2 teams gets left out for having a weaker SOS than a 9-3 team with a stronger SOS (remember the uproar about FSU and Bama last year!!), there will be demands I think to balance the schedules so those teams are easier to evaluate against each other.
