Probably doesn't realize football is split into multiple divisions because there are way too many teams for them to all be lumped together. I bet he doesn't realize there are actually 4 national champions in college football every year. Or that Division-1, which we are talking about in this thread, has already had to be split once because of this same issue, which is why we have the FBS and the FCS.

The FCS (the lower branch of Div-1) has 125 teams. Their national championship is determined by a 16 team tournament. By comparison, the FBS (which is all the schools we are talking about here) has 130 teams, one of which is transitional and gets a 4 team tournament. See a problem here?

You either have to have a larger field in the playoffs, and 16 is a realistic number. That's like 13% of the teams making the playoffs which is a TINY amount compared to other sports. But since for some reason the system that works in every other division isn't going to work in Div-1; we can't have 16 teams and it'll be forever to get 8. Look how long it took to get 4 teams instead of 2 ffs. So if we aren't going to field a larger group for the playoffs, the only answer is to split the division again and have another national championship that the schools who will NEVER get a nod in the current system actually have a chance of winning.

Division-1A becomes the power 5 and Notre Dame and they can have their 4 teams playoff since they will be the smallest division. 1B is everyone else from the current FBS and the top 2 conferences from the FCS; 1C is the rest of the FCS. Those 2 groups can have the otherwise standard tournament to decide their national champions. Problem solved for everyone.
