CoachKevin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 What happens if Nebraska, Texas and TCU are all 12-0 ? USC or Florida go 12-0 ? Quote Link to comment
brasky Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 How about this for a possible solution to current and future division imbalance: floating divisions. 1. Add BYU, Utah, TCU, and Air Force to the conference. (if necessary, only for football and not other sports) 2. Create 4 roughly equal half-divisions: north-NU, ISU, MU, CU central-KU, OU, KS, OSU south-UT, TT, aTm, BU west-TCU, BYU, Utah, AF 3. Divisions are made of 2 half-divisions and swap every 2 years between north (north and west) v. south (central and south) southwest (south and west) v. classic (central and north) 4. 7 games are played within division and 1 game is played cross-division against a teams conference rival if the team has one or random team if not OU v NU and KU v MU in north v south years OU v UT in southwest v classic years 5. Teams with the highest in-division records go to championship. Winner in head to head for tie breaker. Only in the case of 3 way ties are cross-division games counted. That just reminded me of the movie Baseketball when they are explaining the playoff schedule... Quote Link to comment
schlumper Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 man you put a lot of thought into this! i like it but dump TCU and Colorado. one Colorado team is enough, and Texas already has too many. i would recommend adding a new mexico, Wyoming, or one of the Dakota Schools. just on better representation standards. only thing i would add is maybe adding a small play off between the division winners so that a good team doesn't get left out. Yeah, I'm a security guard at night with a patrol in the middle of nowhere; I have time to over think everything. While I would love to dump CU, both Colorado fans and Husker fans from western Nebraska consider it a rivalry. As for dumping TCU for the other schools you suggested, I picked schools with respectable football programs as that makes the winner of the Big 16 more prestigious. A playoff system wouldn't be bad, but would probably require 18 teams divided into 3 divisions. The winner of each division and a wild card representing the best team that didn't win their division in a 4 team playoff. It just gets overly complicated when you try to introduce the playoff system into the conference level rather than the BCS level. Quote Link to comment
