I think what it creates is a watered down regular season that doesn't measure to the current excitement of college football.

You're talking accounting gimmicks now. The fact that we have a tradition of publishing one type of record over another doesn't reflect any underlying truth relative to this question.

That's a horrible plan, then. You're advocating an eight game season. Teams would all schedule crap teams in the non-con, and their only goals would be to not get hurt. A full third of the season would turn into the NFL preseason.

Most teams have 1 decent non con game that will now be replaced by playing legit teams within their conference. I don't see the big loss. |

Just like we determine a national champion using the BCS system now (or the competing AP poll), but we all want to change it in one way or another.

Not at all. League games are designated as games that count. We might as well count field goals kicked in pre-game warmups by your standard. After all, using the actual game to determine when the scoring counts is just an accounting gimmick.

There was a 9 game season in the Big 12 this year which is an example of how conferences do things differently. Conferences are free to schedule however they want and they're also free to count non-conference games as a part of their conference championship determination if they want. I'm not trying to dictate any of those things.

Designating which games count is something that can easily be changed one way or the other. But we're talking about games here, not random events like pre-game warmup kicks. The games are all played by essentially the same rules whether they're pre-season, regular season, or playoffs in the NFL or non-con, conference, or bowl/playoffs in college. The rule differences, where there are any, are minimal. There's no reason in the world why pre-season games couldn't be regular season games in the NFL. In fact, the owners have proposed transforming 2 of them into real games to make for an 18 game season just recently, no?

Wrong. They'd be free to do so even if conference championships had a bearing on eligibility for national championships, at least up to a point. They are independent of one another.

Maryland will pay something, but much like Mizzou, NU, CU, and A&M, they won't pay anywhere near the full demand.

only in that it was the NFL that proposed it. It was still discussed.
