How is this for a solution to the BCS?

Crazy realignment*schemes - Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician

I personally agree with this with some minor changes. Here is the jist of the proposed system with some tweaks by me:

*32 team playoff to determine the NC (15 auto-bids, 17 at-large berths)
*15 conferences of 8 teams each (there are 120 total D-IA teams)
*Full round robin conference season
*Three nonconference games (the regular season is reduced to 10 games)
*I'm not sure if I want a bye week in there or not

Here are the conferences with some tweaks by me. Note that I tried to keep traditional rivals together (football rivals, meaning I can ignore basketball rivalries such as Illinois-Indiana), as well as keeping teams from the same state together, although there are some failures to this:

BCS conferences

Big East: Boston College, Connecticut, Maryland, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, West Virginia

ACC: Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, South Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

Gulf Coast Conference: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Miami, South Florida

SEC: Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Louisville, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt

Great Lakes 8: Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin

Big 8: Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Northwestern

Southwest Conference: Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU

Mountain West: Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, BYU, Colorado, Fresno State, Idaho, Utah

Pac-8: Cal, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Stanford, Washington, Washington State

Non-BCS conferences:

Eastern Conference: Akron, Army, Buffalo, Kent State, Marshall, Navy, Ohio, Temple

MAC: Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Miami U, Northern Illinois, Toledo, Western Michigan

Sun Belt: Central Florida, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Memphis, Middle Tennessee State, Troy, UAB

Conference USA: Arkansas State, Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana Monroe, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Southern Miss, Tulane, Western Kentucky

Great Midwest Conference: Houston, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UTEP, Wyoming

WAC: Air Force, Colorado State, Hawaii, Nevada, UNLV, San Diego State, San Jose State, Utah State

I would also insert a system of promotion and relegation for conferences, where the last place teams in each BCS conference would be demoted to a non-BCS conference next season, and the winner of each non-BCS conference would be promoted. Each conference would be on a send-recieve relationship as follows:

Big East-Eastern
ACC/GCC-Sun Belt
SEC/SWC-Conference USA
Great Lakes 8/Big 8-MAC
MWC/Pac-8-WAC

In most cases the last place teams would playoff to see who stays in their conference.
