RE: Divisionless Football Conferences?
Love the PAC 12 structure! Perfect!

Only draw back for the larger conferences is that a team could make the CCG because of an easy schedule, not because they are one of the best teams in the conference.

For instance, let's say Arkansas gets its permanent opponents Missouri, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M and then in a scheduling fluke gets Kentucky, Mississippi St., South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and Auburn. That's about as easy as it gets with an SEC schedule. Conversely, let's say Georgia has Auburn, Florida, South Carolina and then Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, A&M, and Ole Miss.

Arkansas could earn the CCG berth by 2 or 3 games over Georgia, even if Georgia has the clearly better team.

For larger conferences, I would like to see the conference championship expanded to include a semi-final round - where there are three division champions and one wild card participant. That would keep all regions of the conference engaged in the championship hunt, and allow one quality, highly-ranked runner-up the chance to show how good the conference is.
