The only realistic solution to *almost* level the playing field is an eight-team playoff, with guaranteed playoff berths to five conference champions.

Sure, the SEC would still likely be overrepresented among the three at-large selections, but at least the Pac would have an opportunity each year to showcase (hopefully) the best conference team.

And mandate 9 conference games. Or 8. I don't care which, just mandate one.
