So while beating my head against the wall to help pass the time until kickoff Thursday night, I got an idea. What if there was a conference playoff? What if there was a playoff where each conference fielded an all-star team, and those guys battled it out on the gridiron for conference supremacy? The more I thought about, I thought "this could work." Then the more and more I got into it I thought, "this is genious!" All of the aspects we love about college football would exist in this postseason event - hype, pride, elite athletes, rabid fans, media frenziness, and most importantly, money.
