BIG ERN Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The only P5 team that was left out was TCU (came from the Mountain West). Some divisional teams can be moved around but you get the picture. I believe this is what it will come to in the near future and we will see a 16 team playoff. After the division winners are determined, the next 8 teams are chosen by the committee will qualify for the Playoff. I don't see a reason for a lot of the non-P5 teams to exist anymore in the same league TBH and haven't for a lot of years. You get a breakthrough team once a decade but they fit better in their own league overall instead of the FBS. This will also require teams to schedule some harder out of conference games going forward. B10 can also keep their name if it makes them feel better.

Crusader Husker Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Take this and make everyone else in a lower division. If some teams suck, you can move them down and other teams can come up. Get a committee to decide who goes up and who goes down. When you go down, you make less money. When you go up, you make more. If some of the teams in your senerio don't want to invest money to compete, let other teams in that will. This does not have to be tied to the current conferences. TCU has been much more competitive than KU. NCAA doesn't run FB, it does run everything else. For other sports, leave the traditional conference format. Bottom tier can have their own playoff.

whateveritis1224 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just do the relegation system from soccer. Take the bottom 5 teams and drop them for the top 5 teams from the lower level. But that only works because all teams play each other in their seasons. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 That is exactly what I am thinking. FB is a different animal. Even in HS it is the thing that causes issues within conferences. I am back to coaching HS FB this year. I see us as a FB team getting our HS kicked out of our conference in 2 years. (I hope) Becaue we are kicking the crap out of everyone. KU might want to just play FCS FB, but given the current format, they can't. Just make FB it's own thing. Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Interesting concept and I could easily see it. Maybe all the Texas schools not named UT or A&M in the same division to create a intrastate interests - Baylor, Tech, TCU, Houston and maybe even SMU. 1 Quote Link to comment

You guys must be killing teams because that hardly ever happens. How many conference games do you have each season where you and the staff are like "Yeah, this game will be over by half" Quote Link to comment

We have been OK the last few years, but with our freshman class. It could happen. We are also growing. We might bet too big for our conference. We have 3 divisions and the bigger schools are on the other side of the city. They would want us going over there. No thank you! Trying to get across Cleveland in rush hour traffic? No way! 1 Quote Link to comment
internetman Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It appears the SEC is trying to grab the cream and forget the rest. i think at the end of this we will wish it was 64 Teams. 1 Quote Link to comment
gossamorharpy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Like the idea, but 2030? This s#!ts prolly going down by 2023... I just don’t see how it this goes through there isn’t a massive consolidation immediately. I thought I saw a post along these lines proposing a big10/pac12 alliance where the league remains relatively the same but bakes in set matchups and a rose bowl game between the 2 conferences. Thought that was pretty cool because these massive leagues feel like we’re just watering s#!t down at this point Quote Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Here's a novel idea for Big Ten expansion: Add USC; UCLA; Stanford; California; Oregon; Washington; Colorado; all of which are AAU members The new conference would have 21 teams: East; Middle; West East would be the current Big Ten East; Middle would be the current Big Ten West; West would be the new Pac additions Conference championship tournament would be each division winner plus a 4th team "wildcard" ... or three teams with the #1 seed getting a bye. The Big Ten would add the following markets: Los Angeles (#2 TV market) San Francisco (#6 TV market) Seattle (#12 TV market) Denver (#16 TV market) Portland (#21 TV market) San Diego (#27 TV market) If you're stuck on the idea of an even number of teams and two (or four) divisions, then add Georgia Tech (Atlanta, #7 TV market), UNC (Charlotte, #22 TV market; Raleigh, #24 TV market), and Vanderbilt (Nashville, #30 TV market). Big Ten Atlantic Penn State Rutgers Maryland Georgia Tech North Carolina Vanderbilt Big Ten Great Lakes Ohio State Michigan Michigan State Indiana Purdue Illinois Big Ten Plains Northwestern Wisconsin Minnesota Iowa Nebraska Colorado Big Ten Pacific USC UCLA California Stanford Oregon Washington Saw this on another forum, and just wow im speechless. 1 Quote Link to comment

funhusker Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Maybe we’re overthinking this. Make it as simple as the B1G adding a couple teams; maybe KU and Pitt, or whoever. Then the B1G and SEC just become scheduling partners. The non conference games could be seeded somehow to benefit the top teams and also promote big games. Out of 3 non conference games one could be against the team matching in conference rank, #2 could be high seed vs low seed, and #3…I’m open to anything. Could be fun for neutral site games and Tv providers would love that schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebraska55fan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The penalty for ACC teams to leave is about $100 million. There won't be any ACC teams heading this direction. It will be BIG12 or PAC10. Not sure the deal Notre Dame has with the ACC- guessing it may be a special deal. Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I like the work done here. For me, I'm gonna do what I can to get Missouri into the B1G and Rutgers out. That is the one that I would want different. Quote Link to comment
