How to describe the work

“An independent proposal by Alec Levine.” The project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ohio State, the NCAA, CFP, a conference, institution, athlete, NFL, NFLPA, or media-rights holder.

AI disclosure

Transparent assistance

AI assisted research, drafting, editing, modeling, document production, and website development. Alec selected the policy positions and accepts responsibility for the published judgments.

Questions worth asking.

Why does an 18-team field produce more meaningful ranking incentives?
How should conference championship participation be protected?
Why exclude Power Four teams from the National Tournament?
Why not move eliminated CFP teams into another postseason?
How should transfer, signing, coaching, and NFL-declaration calendars avoid the championship?
Could an NFL Wild Card Weekend compact protect a Saturday-night college championship?
Where should draft exploration end and final professional commitment begin?
Which parts of the proposal still need the most evidence?
