If COVID-19 can lead to big changes to schedules and the CFP, why not rebuild from scratch? That’s the thinking of Kyle Umlang, a college football stats expert with over 10,000 followers on Twitter.
Umlang recently suggested converting the 64-team Power 5 into 4 new 16-team mega-conferences. Umlang proposes that in the new system, the 8 division winners would be Playoff teams with conference championships serving as the first round.
