huh? team travel expenses?- cost just as the same to travel by bus as it does plane...
Im sorry. I will not elaborate further. If you dont understand that random schedule draw can frick some teams and reward others, then I cant expalin it any clearer.

probably a good idea, because i do not see your point whatsoever.
look at Iowas schedule this year, for example, is it fair that they get to play that plebeian slate while others are actually stuck competing?
"random" schedules at least offer novel viewership - as it stands now, we get 12 games a year, and half of those games are against the same damn teams - why is this the norm? mind = blown

ETA: Scratch that. I like the idea of playing Oregon and North Carolina and BC etc.
Yea I certainly do too, but what if this would happen...
LSU draws @Oregon, @Arizona St, @Boise State and @Washington.
Bama draws @Texas, @Florida St, @Georgia Tech, @Louisville
Texas draws @Texas A&M, @Arkansas, @Oklahoma St, @Arizona
LSU would have to travel 3x as much which would be a huge disadvantage.

I don't know much about how scholarships work, but wouldn't this limited coverage and the lack of money these smaller schools earn from playing tune up games eventually effect their ability to offer scholarships?
no?
if money affected athletic scholarships, as much as claimed, then women would never see an offer in anything.
most athletic depts are in the red (even the P5) - only a few turn a profit (I think 15 or so)

Once you figure out which teams are in which divisions, then you can work on the schedule to make it as fair as possible.

Just imagine if they didn't have football money from big games.

Relegation would never work in CFB. Too much turnover in players. A team can be almost a completed new team after losing players.
I agree with you if we are talking about one year scenarios, but I think if we go to a P5 only division, there should be some minimum standards over a 3 or 5 year period that a team must meet to keep P5 status.

From my understanding, yes.

The Mocs will receive $450,000 from both Alabama and Tennessee. Nebraska is paying UTC $475,000 for this season's guarantee game, and South Florida will pay the Mocs $435,000 next season.

That's a lot of cash for a small time school.

Yes that is a nice chunk of change.

What about the one year wonders? They deserve a shot at a national championship that year as much as anyone.
Relegation puts too much emphasis on past performance for my liking. Limits true "worst to first" scenarios, which make sports awesome, especially CFB.
Look at Mizzou last year. Where did they come from? They deserved to be in the national title talk even after a disappointing season in 2012.

I think you would work that into the standards. I am not saying there should be some set win-loss record you have to achieve, but say a team finishes last or second to last every year in their conference for 5 years, should they really maintain P5 status?

I think I would be, but I don't know if the rest of the CFB masses would.
Enjoying the discussion though.

This could also possibly effect recruiting. Teams that are in League B would be destined to stay there. For example, if Mississippi State was in League B and Ole Miss was in League A then all the instate talent would go to Ole Miss. I'm afraid that it would be very hard for Mississippi State to recover. Even if they had a good year in League B and got bumped up they would be playing there with inferior talent and get sent right back down the next year.

Good call.
You'd have to have a coach really sell a program rising from League B to get some stud recruits.

Then you're back to square one with the same problem we have now with who gets in the playoff. How could you possibly tell a borderline 50/50 team from League A that they are going to League B based on a subjective ranking? "Hey sorry we think you're going to suck this year and this League B team looks like they're going to be better." That wouldn't work.
