I notice UConn got left out of your Big East and your ACC...so where do the Huskies go?

UConn has deemphasized Football to the point they stay an Independent.

Also Virginia Tech doesn't appear to have made the cut

Oh crap I'm missed them. They go into the Big East and I guess Notre Dame goes back to being Independent, along with Army and UConn.

Scheduling would be easy. Play everyone in your conference once (9 games) with 3 non-conference games, one of which must be against a P7 school. All conference champions make the playoff, with 5 wild card teams.
