Divisions need to go

The large Conferences with two divisions (ACC, Big 12, SEC, MAC, C USA) need to swipe these away and integrate it into just one Conference. The primary reason for this is because it is not gauranteed to field the two best teams in the Championship game, or the two most deserving teams, which is the reason divisions are in existence in the first place. The best example is the Big XII this season. Clearly, the 4 best teams all reside in the Big 12 South. The fact no one can truly decipher who deserves to represent this Division in the Big 12 Championship game between Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech has presented a national controversy, and quite frankly a national embarassment for the Big Twelve. All problems would be eliminated without Divisions because it would be much more clear it is in the best interests of the Big 12, BCS, and National Championship race to place Oklahoma & Texas against each other for the Conference Championship. Now, it would be much harder to claim the 2008 National Championship tainted because these two would directly eliminate the other.

There are other reasons too: Imbalance of power, two powerhouses in one division, imbalance of schedule, and the fact two teams can't play each other as often which is a shame. I don't think you could truly justify the existence of divisions. It has fucked up everything in College Football this season.

The Championship game is the best chance to showcase a Conference on National Television. It brings in an immense amount of revenue. The Divisions also build up rivalries, and allow rivals to play each other every year (I hate VA Tech).
