Of course the issue with silos is all of their wins and losses equate to .500 so there's no telling how strong the conference is. What if the CIAA went silo? They're a 12 team conference, so they could play 11 games and likely end up with an undefeated team and a 1 loss team. So without increasing their level of play they would go from occasionally one team in, to basically being assured of two spots every year, maybe even a third.
Not to besmirch the GAC, because the level of play is a whole lot better than when some of the teams were in the GSC but, if you came from a background where for a long time your members were under represented in the playoffs, wouldn't you use the rules to your benefit to assure that you get as much representation as possible? A siloed conference of kindergartners could qualify one or two teams.
What are the Silo Conferences MIAA, NSIC & GAC? Any others?
