Imagine how dominant Notre Dame would become if this were to happen.
You're missing one thing I said. You have a selection committee selecting the teams, just like in college. A team that schedules a full plate of teams like that wouldn't even sniff the playoffs. Plus, when you are in a conference, generally you have to play the teams in your conference which is at least eight games in most cases.

Plus, Auburn already has a horrendus OOC schedule (I think their total SOS is around 90th or something like that), so it already happens. This could eliminate that to a point.
