And yes, for mid majors the season is meaningless ... if the only thing you care about is a national championship. If they want to be considered for a national champion, you can't spend the entire year playing cupcakes. IE if Boise State REALLY cares about a NC, then find a major conference.
I think people care too much about the NC, there are alot of great bowl games. 26 teams or so end the season on a winning note, 52 schools worth of alumni get a built in vacation and again, 26 teams get to take a tropy off the field. If they put a playoff in, even if it is only 4 or 8 teams, then the other bowl games would be completely written off and deemed irrelevant.

jeez, i would hope that the ultimate goal for every 1-A program, no matter how unrealistic, would be a national title. anyways, my main issue is that there is a chance that there can be multiple undefeateded's at the end of the year. at the end of the year, there should be one or none undefeated's.
I do agree that some of the bigger mid major programs could try to move into a larger conference.
