in seeing college football remain competitive in the long run (which is an assumption on my part; it is entirely possible that you would prefer a system in which a handful of teams dominate at the top in perpetuity) then you will have to institute a draft-like system that gives priority to low achieving teams to pick the best players, at least regionally.
It's a law of nature almost that the powerful continue to accrue more power unless there is an opposing force in the environment to hold them back. The same principle works in the marketplace (monopolization, etc), politics (the dominance of the two parties), and sports (check out world soccer for a good example, the top teams that compete for championship year after year in each league is roughly the same two or three teams in most cases ... yeah, they are doing some work on that in Europe in terms of "financial fair play, but they had been operating with no countervailing force for a long time; compared to the NBA and NFL, which has a combination of salary cap and draft system to keep these leagues more competetive than they would have otherwise been).
