IMHO you should get something for finishing #1 and #2...and in this set up you do, a bye game.
It would also limit the amount of games games while still allowing 6 teams in. I would say 60% of the time the champ would only have to play 2 games while 40% of the time the champ plays 3 games. Football is tough on these kids bodies so I like limiting the amount of games.
I actually wish they could do 12 teams and have all the NewYears six bowls be apart of it. But take the best four wins decided by some predetermined guidelines, not decided by a committee, because we all know they would screw it up with SEC bias. And finish off with a four team playoff from there. I am a weirdo too I guess.
Automatic bids for all 10 conferences and a handful of wild cards...but like the NCAA basketball tournament, have some play-in games.
