Outside The Box- Four Conference Battle

With all the talk of who deserves a ranking, or which conference deserves more at large berths. I have an outside the box idea, let me know if it's idiotic, or unfeasible.

Picture this. The first two weeks of the season we could have a P4 OOC challenge, and a G6 one as well. The champions of each league could match up with the champions of the other, and you could do that down the line. This year you'd have Oregon face Georgia and Clemson. Penn State could face Texas and Iowa State. Arizona State could face Georgia and Clemson. Third, Fourth, and Fifth could matchup, and down the line. We could truly find out the quality of each conference as a whole.

The overall winners of these mini two week challenges could get two points for each win, which could help determine byes and home field advantage.

The G6 winners could square up to help determine which could get the at large. Now if those teams fell out and had five losses, you could go to best record and rank. But if you were to get Memphis or Boise State tied, you could use the two week challenge.

I think it would help make the first two weeks mean something. It would eliminate all those terrible games we see like Penn State vs Villanova, USC vs Missouri State, Florida vs Long Island, Oregon vs Portland State, etc....

I know it's never going to happen, but it'd be fun. Would you like to see Oregon play Clemson at home, and then play Arizona State on the road to open the season? I know ASU is a familiar opponent, but it wouldn't be like that every year. You could get Oregon vs Ole Miss, and we'd stop having this silly what if. It could help to dispell the perception that one conference is head and shoulders above another.

Imagine just finding out in September, and it wouldn't be hypothetical. Believe me when I tell you ESPN needs an earlier lesson. Paul Finebaum would be shut up earlier.

We'll probably not. He'd find some excuse.
