LINK

its basically the creation of a new division.

Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
Clemson
Florida
Florida State
Georgia
LSU
Michigan
Michigan State
Miami
Nebraska
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Oregon
Penn State
Stanford
Tennessee
Texas
Texas A&M
USC
UCLA
Wisconsin

these schools are then broken down into divisions



quote:

• Each team plays five games against its divisional foes, six games against other divisions (two teams from each, predetermined like in the NFL) and one game against whoever it wants from any level, be it an old rival that didn’t make the cut for this list or an FCS bodybag foe.
• The top two teams in each division make the playoff. No committee or BCS formula needed. You could also easily expand the playoff to 12, with the champion of each division getting a first-round bye.
• And just like in pro sports leagues, the Confederation, not the individual conferences/divisions, holds the TV rights for every regular-season and playoff game between any of these teams.

Like half of those teams don't fit with the other half.

aTm, Wisconsin, penn state, Miami, etc are laughable with Bama, et al

i mean if you wanted to create a conference based solely on how the programs compared to bama or OSU, youd have like a three team conference

What does that even mean?

College football is cyclical as well.

80's it was Miami and Penn State...90's Florida State...2000's USC and recently Bama.

You act like things are in stone over 50 years. Let alone things change in CFB every 10 years.

The only thing to notice from this super conference...is that playoffs would be dead.

Every natty would come from it.

Retarded. I wish the SEC would go back to 12 teams if anything and I don't give a shite what any other conference does

There would need to be some sort of relegation/promotion system. Some of those programs have only had sporadic success over the years. Would anyone have proposed Clemson or Michigan State for this 10 years ago?

Yeah it is, I just wanted to get that out of the way.

The TV money would be nuts but some of those teams would lose 10-11 games a season. I'm looking at you A&M. Or Nebraska.
