Wasn't it the BCS Six just a few years ago? I'm sure we haven't seen the last of conference realignment, especially with the current five-conference-champions-vying-for-four-playoff-spots setup. Also, the issue will not be as pressing if the college football playoff expands to 8 teams before 2026.
For the time being, I would favor the following rule changes:
(1) All FBS teams play the same number of regular-season conference games.
(2) FCS games don't count towards bowl eligibility; it takes six FBS victories to go bowling.
(3) FCS games do count towards strength of schedule, however that is determined.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
