One of my problems with 14 team conferences is the conference dictates team's schedules. Georgia-Mizzou is an annual game, while Georgia-Bama & Mizzou-A&M only play once every 6 years. Meanwhile out-of-conference, A&M-Texas, Mizzou-Kansas, Florida-Miami & Georgia-Clemson are either cancelled or ignored.
In Fantasyland, I propose that conferences become more of a loose affiliation of like-minded teams (mostly grouped by location) and return the power to schedule to the teams. This way, teams aren't forced into 8-9 conference games/1-2 out-of-conference games, but can schedule 10 games vs whatever BCS-level teams they wish. This would create huge rivalries between schools because they'll play their 10 biggest rivals every year. Fans/students would be able to travel to a lot more away games because their team will be playing close to home. No more forced matchups like Florida-Mizzou, South Carolina-A&M, Clemson-Boston College or Florida State-Syracuse.
10 games vs BCS-level to keep the competition more consistent but a school can schedule annual matchups against teams from any conference they wish. Games 11 & 12 would be home games against lower level FBS/FCS teams so we can all enjoy 7 home games. I sorted 76 teams into the 7 conferences - SEC 12, ACC 11, BE 14, B1G 11, SWC 7, MWC 10 & PAC 11. Conference championships might be anticlimactic since each team can play a different number of conference games. The conference championship might just go to the highest ranked team. Then the top 8 ranked teams or 7 conference champions & the highest ranked at-large team would play in College Football Playoffs.
Below I made up a 10-game annual schedule for all 76 teams. Your team would play these 10 games every year, home and away (except for neutral site games like Florida-Georgia). To the left of your teams' name are 3 numbers - the top is# of games within a 5 hour drive (325 miles), middle is average miles to the 10 opponents' campuses and bottom is average # of times your school has played the 10 opponents in the past 30 years (1983-2012). To the right are all 10 games your team would play annually, in order from closest to further away from campus. The middle # is miles to that opponents' campus. Bottom is # of times the 2 teams have played in the past 30 years.
Southeastern - 11 teams:

Arkansas is closest to Oklahoma & Ok State but never plays them or Mizzou. Memphis is practically in Arkansas & has a 61k seat stadium. They round out their schedule w/ Ole Miss, Miss St & LSU in-conference & 3 schools from Texas (old SWC). 4 games are within 5 hours (325 miles), average distance to opponents is 402 miles & they've played them an average of 12 times each over the past 30 years (1983-2012). 4 conference games. Ends season w/ LSU.

Memphis rides their location in the heart of SEC country to be listed as member. They're a convenient road trip for a lot of schools, in a NBA sized market, play in a 61k seat stadium & can be a breather in the hard SEC schedule. They play the 4 western most SEC teams, in-state Vandy & Tenn, plus other city-college Lville, Cincy, Houston & Kentucky. 7 conference games. Ends season w/ Vandy.

Despite being a charter member of the SEC, I don't know how southern Northern Kentucky is. Their schedule keeps them closer to home w/ Lville, Cincy & Indiana. 3 games vs teams from Tennessee. Regional games vs Va Tech & West Va & they keep 2 trips down south w/ Florida & Georgia. 5 conference games. Ends season w/ Tenn.

Florida quits ignoring the directional Florida schools & renews their annual game w/ Miami. They also play the 12-team's SEC East (except for Vandy) & both Alabama schools. Les Miles gets his way & LSU-Florida is over.
SEC plays 46 non-conference games. 18 games vs ACC, 15 vs SWC & 9 vs BE. Arkansas plays 3 games vs MWC & Kentucky plays Indiana. Memphis is listed here because they play 7 games vs the SEC... South Carolina is under ACC because the play more games vs ACC (6) tha SEC (4)... A&M plays LSU & Arkansas but their other 8 games are against teams from Texas & Oklahoma... Mizzou plays against the other 7 Big Eight teams in the MWC & just plays Arkansas from the SEC. They also play Iowa & Illinois from the B1G.

Temple only has 7 games so Game 8 is Penn St or Maryland, #9 is BC or Cuse & #10 is Pitt or West Va. The teams will alternate playing Temple in home&home series. So every 4 years these teams will give up their 7th home game to play Temple at the Eagles NFL stadium in Philadelphia.
Pacific 11. 4 non-conference games. Utah plays BYU & Boise St. USC & Stanford play NDame.

I worked it out so all 76 teams have a 10 game schedule they play annually (except Temple in a little different situation). They all work with each other’s schedules. Some BE teams have to play Army or Air Force to fill in holes & UConn-Indiana/ Boise State-Minnesota aren’t the best games out there but I feel this fantasyland plan puts teams on schedules their fans want to play the most.
It could be the football-only option & our real-life conferences could operate basketball & Olympic sports as normal. Or these could be customized conferences for each & every team. Where you play your 10 rivals once each in football (10 games), twice in basketball (home&away, 20 games) & baseball (30 games). Think about all the quick road trips you could take.
