I can somewhat see the "shafted" part in terms of the current set-up in football.   Less opportunity to go to the conference's championship game in football.

But should the 4-16 come about, I see the pod systems creating a semi-final round in conference football championships.  In essence these semi-final games become the Sweet 16 for college football, the conference championship games become the Elite 8.  And a seeded Plus One BCS set-up where the conference champions meet in two of the BCS Bowls and the NC a week or two later become the Final Four and Championship game equivalent to March Madness.

And there is already talk of possibly allowing 3 teams from a conference going to a BCS Bowl.  So for the other two (maybe three by then) BCS Bowls there are 4-6 teams playing those games as a warm-up to the semi-final and finals.

That's where this could all be heading.  Of course, egos, particularly ND, Texas, and the BiG will likely screw it up.  ;)

Cheers,
Neil
