So for example this week we would have:
ACC:
SMU vs Syracuse
Clemson vs Miami
Big XII:
ASU vs. CU
ISU vs. BYU
B1G:
Oregon vs. Ohio St
Penn St. vs Indiana
SEC:
Texas vs. Alabama
Georgia vs. Tennessee
MWC:
Boise vs. Fresno
UNLV vs. CSU
AAC:
Army vs. Memphis
Tulane vs. Navy
Winners of the conference playoffs would go as follows:
AAC vs. ACC --> winner plays B1G champion
MWC vs. Big XII --> winner plays SEC champion
Then winner of those games plays for NC
MWC will be replaced by "PAC" in the future
Each conference contracts out their own conference playoff to whoever is the highest TV bidder.
No need for polls, computer metrics, eye tests, whatever.
