Otherwise you have to add weeks to the season.

I think proposal two is better. Keep it at four teams, but pick better teams. If proposal 2 was in place in 2008, Utah Utes would have been in the playoffs. In 2010, TCU would have been in the playoffs. And in 2017, UCF would have been in the playoffs.

Winning the conference is still going to be highly important to college football though. 

I think just do the 5 conference winners and then the 3 beat of, however you wanna determine the 3 best of

Can't see proposal 2 happening with Notre Dame

ND has had no problem cultivating relationships with the BCS and with the various bowl committees.  They would get to keep their autonomy in scheduling their own games.   Just like they had side deals with the Gator Bowl committee and the Cotton Bowl committee, they could come up with a side deal with one of the 10 conferences, for just one possible game per year.

Yeah, I didn't put it above, but one of my assumptions is that people like the neutral site bowl games.  Even though most of them play no role in determining the national champion, most people are fine with that.
