West Conference: Cal, USC, Oregon, Oregon State, Arizona, ASU, SDSU, Utah, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, WSU, Boise, BYU, Colorado, UNLV. Central Conference: Nebraska, Michigan State, Kansas State, Kansas, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, OK State, Iowa, Iowa State, Wisconsin, TCU, Louisville, Notre Dame, Missouri, Illinois. East Conference: Ohio State, Michigan, Cincinnati, Virginia, Virginia Tech, WVU, Pittsburgh, Penn State, Rutgers, UNC, NC State, Clemson, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Maryland South Conference: Florida, FSU, LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Texas AM, USF, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Miami, Georgia Tech, Vandy, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky. Four 16-team conferences with two eight-team divisions in each. 20 teams would be preferable, but then you end up adding teams that don't really belong like ECU and Fresno State. Eight divisional games with four non-conference games, one of which is allowed to be a quasi preseason game against a non-automatic qualifier in the first week of the season. The remaining three non-conference games must be with the remaining super conference teams. The winner of each division plays each other in a conference championship game with the winners of each division going to a four-team playoff. Each conference has the ability to vote out a team if that team performs at an unsatisfactory level for a five year stretch(IE the ability to replace USF with Missouri State if need be).
I like where you are going with that, but I think you could make 8 super conferences. Although I agree that a lot of teams in D1 really don't belong.
