And that doesn't even get into the whole mess of trying to separate team 8 from team 9.
I think this is where the playoffs and polls argument in general is flawed. A league can have polls or playoffs but not both and definately polls cannot be used to determine playoff teams. It has to be concrete.

As I mentioned before 4 mega-conferences, balance schedules and and 8 berths, two from each conference however they determine it. Sure that means this year Arkansas would miss out but that's just too bad.

I know that college football is reluctant to change and schedules have been made for the next 10-15 years so we're not getting any closer to a solution.
