okaive Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think 12 will always be the sweet spot for ideal conference numbers - it's a shame this won't last much longer. I don't know what would actually be awesome in real life, but here's my playful answer: Ultra Mega Conference Terrorists Division 1.Texas 2.Miami 3.Missouri 4.Wisconsin 5.Colorado 6.K-State Good Guys Division 7.Michigan 8.Michigan State 9.Virginia Tech 10.Florida State 11.Oklahoma 12.Iowa State So you don't like watching Nebraska play?

okaive Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sad thing is, you would rather watch Colorado and Iowa state then Nebraska. You, sir, should be banned. Quote Link to comment
1HuskrFan Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Had to go with 14, had 12 of the all time greats, included LSU being a childhood favorite, and Oregon to even things out. The class of College Football No divisions, No non conference, play round robin with top four teams playing for NC. Nebraska Oklahoma Alabama Florida State Georgia Ohio State Miami Penn State Michigan Notre Dame Texas USC (Trojans of course) LSU Oregon (had to get to even #) It wouldn't be long before all the talent ended up in this conference, with the winner possibly having 4 losses. How much fun would this conference be? 7 games a week pitting the best against the best. Going undefeated would have to have divine intervention. Quote Link to comment
You Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The perfect conference already exists... it's called the SEC. Everybody knows that they are the goodest. I just hope that one day teams from other conferences will be able to play at the superhuman levels that they do. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think we should have a super-conference with all the "elites", which would include teams that have won National Championships, and those teams would vote in any other teams to be part of that conference. It could be split into several divisions, with the NC's split equally through them. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Bump Thought it would be cool to revisit this topic 2 years later. Changes? New Ideas? Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Solid Poll! I didn't realize it was from 2 years ago and I voted. Well, here's a rundown of what the voted-on conference would look like: 12 teams was the favorite, so I'll include 11 plus Nebraska in order of most-to-least votes: Oklahoma 47 Wisconsin 45 Ohio State 44 Michigan 42 Missouri 40 Michigan State 36 Iowa 35 Penn State 33 Notre Dame 32 Kansas 28 Kansas State 27 didn't make the cut: Iowa State 23 Colorado 19 Texas A&M 19 Minnesota 19 Northwestern 19 Texas 18 Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Better-10 Division Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Penn State Notre Dame Wisconsin Better-12 Division Nebraska Iowa Missouri Kansas Kansas State Oklahoma 1 Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 14 Team Confernce: 2 divisions of 7 and 9 conference games. Mixture of old, current, never. Division One: Texas Oklahoma Okie St Iowa Notre Dame Wisconsin Nebraska Division Two: Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Tennessee Missouri Kansas Kansas State Quote Link to comment
schriznoeder Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I posted this in another thread a while back, but I still like the idea. I say expand the B1G to 20 teams (yes 20), and split into four five-team divisions as follows: WEST - Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma CENTRAL - Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin NORTHEAST – Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers SOUTHEAST – Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, Vanderbilt/Georgia Tech, Virginia *New members are in bold. Each year on a rotating basis, the divisions pair up to form two “super divisions.” For example, in Year 1 the West and Central divisions would pair up, as would the Northeast and Southeast divisions. Then in Year 2, it would be the West and Southeast in one super division and the Central and Northeast in the other. The ten teams in each super division play the other teams in their respective super division round-robin style, for a total of nine conference games. The winners of each super division play in the Big Ten Championship game. Voila! Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Still think there will be 4 super conferences soon. Especially if he big 12 folds. 16 in a conference, two divisions, championship game, then four champions to the playoff final. Are there truly more than 64 elite programs in the country?
