The Big Ten could change the paradigm by adding Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon, and Stanford. Then create a relegation and promotion system of 2 divisions of 10. The bottom 2 from the top division are relegated to the lower division and the top 2 from the lower division are promoted to the top division. The third place and third from last in each division play in a playoff promotion relegation battle for the next years spot in the top division. This system simplifies scheduling and adds infinitely more intrigue to the regular season at the top and bottom of the standings in each league. An end of the season game between USC and Penn St to stay in the top division would do massive ratings.
