Reasonable vision, Mike, but I see something more like 4 megaconferences of 16-teams.  Top 4 in each by W-L (with agree to tie-breaker) plus next 4 (by poll--give Condi et. al. something to do rather than save the world) get into 8-team playoffs (starting Jan 1).  Rest of the losers play in the other bowls.  Next year some sort of re-alignment that gives the Boise States/Northern Illinois of the world a chance to get into the megaconferences next year.  Something like European/Ypremian ""I keek a touchdown" "foot ball.""

So Stymie, in your 16-team mega conference vision of the future, which four teams get added to the Pac-12?
