If super conferences actually do happen, and the regular season in college football remains at 12 games, I think non-conference games will be a thing of the past. I see 2-3 separate leagues with an integrated playoff with auto bids.
To be clear, I'm not saying if this is a good or a bad thing.
If super conferences come to fruition, I think a 3-9 schedule may be in store. 3 permanent rivals with 9 rotating games. That would mean playing everyone in a 22-team league every other year.
The SEC could add FSU, Miami, Clemson, UNC, Virginia, and Duke.
The Big10 could add Notre Dame, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Oregon, Washington, and Stanford.
The SEC represents the South's elites and the Big10 represents the Midwest, North, and West's elites.
The Big12 could cherry-pick the remainder of the Pac12 and ACC to form a national conference, with many good teams, but no elite ones. (Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Cal, Wake Forrest, Georgia Tech, NC State)
