What if the NFL was more like College Football?

The NFL is the most watched and most profitable sports league in America so why mess with something if it isn't broken?  Personally I think the NFL could be a lot more intense and get a lot more viewers if qualifying for the playoffs was a little harder.  I also think that due to the AFC-NFC set up there are a lot of regional rivalries that go un-utilized.  Think of how profitable it would be for the NFL if the Jets and Giants played each year?

So here's the plan: 

The NFL reorganizes, much like the NHL is going to, into four regional conferences---

The East

New England, Buffalo, NY Jets, NY Giants, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore

The North

Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago, Green Bay, Minnesota, Kansas City

The South

St Louis, New Orleans, Tennessee, Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Miami

The West

Dallas, Houston, Denver, Arizona, San Diego, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle

Each conference plays double-round-robin (=14 games), the two remaining Out-of-Conference games will be on a rotating basis.  These games suddenly become big deals because these match ups will only occur once every 12 years.  Teams will only host a team from another conference once every 24 years.

Here is how the playoffs work:

The top 3 teams in each Conference make the playoffs.  In the first week the #2 seed hosts the #3 seed while the #1 seed has a bye.  The following week the #1 seed hosts the winner of that game.  Once each Conference crowns its champion those 4 Champions advance to the Semi Finals.  This is where things get interesting:

Home field advantage is determined by the result of the Pro Bowl.   The Pro Bowl?  Yes.  In the NFL the Pro Bowl matters.  It occurs in the 10th week of the season, after each team has had the chance to play both of its OOC games and each of its conference foes once.  And since the Pro Bowl is no longer in February all 31 NFL stadia have the opportunity to bid on the right to host the Pro Bowl.  It is also a two week affair.  In week 10 the East's Pro Bowl team faces the West's Pro Bowl Team and the North's Pro Bowl Team faces the South's Pro Bowl Team.  The winners then face for the Pro Bowl Championship in week 11.  The regular season then resumes in week 12.

For the Semi Finals the representatives of the conferences who played in the Pro Bowl Championship each have home field advantage.  The team representing the Conference who won the Pro Bowl Championship gets to pick which of the remaining two teams they want to play in the Semi Final.

Yes, it's wild and unconventional but I think it would be awesome!
