"Fixing" college football -- let's see your solution

yeah that would be sweet. It should probably be 24 teams, 11 games in each league. Winners of each league play for the title. Bottom two drop. Would be insanely sick. I don't think most US sports fans realize how awesome this would be. Even better than the NFL IMO.

[ThaSaltCracka]

yeah, but not all conferences are equal.

unless you are Utah (2004) then none of the games count.

I was actually thinking of having the bottom half (or more) drop. I think you would need to keep chaning it up to ensure that Freshmen from all 117 schools have a slightly better than mathematical possibility of making it to the top before they graduate.

Any promotion system would be awsome though.

this is actually good for keeping the regular season meaningfull. since several playoff spots would be taken by weaker conference champs, there would not be many spots for good teams that don't win their conference. this helps to keep the regular season meaningful in addition to giving everyone a chance.

I would be more in favor of the having a top flight then a playoff system.

Or Auburn.

The current system is such a joke because the tiebreaker, which is the polls, is set before a freaking game is played. USC gets in over any other one-loss team simply because they started the year at #1. See Oklahoma, Nebraska and Miami for examples of this. No polls should be released until like the 2nd week of October and the coaches poll should be abolished.

[ThaSaltCracka]

human polls shouldn't be a part of it at all.

Also, the reason that I chose 10 team divisions is so that you could still have 3 nonconference games to preserve traditional rivalries, bolster your claim to staying in the super conference, or give your team an easier game.


Here is what i specifically suggest.

There would be 2 super conferences (east and west) with 10 teams each. These 20 teams would be:

The 11 "regular" conference champions for the previous year.
The 2 super conference champions from the previous year.
The 7 highest ranked teams that do not fit into either of the above categories. (according to whatever pre determined ranking system they choose. The current BCS ranking system would be fine)

[ThaSaltCracka]

so it would be possible for teams from the same conference being in the super conferences? Even winners of the same conference?
