Plus, it makes the out of conference games less important (in a good way)

Which means that we can schedule more big P5 games that are harder but better for fans and tv ratings. And if we lose an OOC game, it doesn't hurt our chances of the playoff because we could earn an auto bid by winning the conference. That would be so much more fun for all the fans.

Pro sports make a big deal for the playoff chase and the wild card chase. It's good for the sports and good for the fans.
