Penn State at SMU
Alabama at Tennessee
Ohio State at ASU
Indiana at Boise State
Some interesting matchups and home field scenarios. Does Penn State dominate SMU if the game is in Dallas? Same result if Texas travels to Death Valley? I am quite confident the Buckeyes do not roll over ASU in Tempe, coming off their loss to Michigan and the Sun Devils thrashing of Iowa State. SEC gets two put up or shut up games between their conference powers. This would have been a very compelling schedule IMO.

16 teams is too many. 8 is fine IMO, forget conferences which mean very little any more, just go by rankings.
