My Super Conference Plan (Long)
Posted on 9/8/11 at 2:21 pm
Posted on 9/8/11 at 2:21 pm
I want to start by saying I hate conference expansion. I love everything about college football as is: the exciting regular season, tradition, and rivalries chief among them. But, with recent events I decided to map out how I would form superconferences. It is certainly not perfect, but you get what you ask for when you do something like this in the first place. To make this work, I have Miami(FL) going independent after a possible death penalty and Utah State and Idaho losing D1A status.

Obviously there would have to be teams left out, but I don't see UCF or USF being left out of AQ conferences for teams like UConn or Navy to be in.

This would be an awesome plan, but I'm not sure if all of the extra games will be welcomed. Theoretically, the teams playing in the championship game will have played 5 more games than teams that didn't qualify for any of the playoffs.

i see no need for 4 divisions and a conf semi final game.
9 conf games. 7 within the division, 2 rotating out of division games. 1 champ game.
also, if we end up going to 16 team super conferences, i am pretty sure we will see a succession from the ncaa in football and those conferences will hold the national champ bcs game in a +1 type format

You will have to find another team, cause that will never happen. ND is probably the only non-AAU school they would accept.

Move East-North playoff to Jerry's World, move East-North to GA Dome, and championship to Superdome.

*SEC takes its turn and takes TCU, West Virginia and South Florida
*ACC finishes off the Big East by taking Villanova, Cincinnati and Louisville
*ACC adds Central Florida from the Conference-USA
*ACC redoes its divisions to stop being fricking stupid
