Only if there is a second tier league with relegation. Bottom 2 are dropped down and top 2 from 2nd tier are moved up each year. Would be great throughout college sports.
Not sure why no American professional leagues have adopted this. Would make for more teams and more local pride.

If you did this based on the BCS era alone, UCLA and Nebraska (and probably Michigan) would have already been dropped for teams like Iowa, Stanford, VA Tech and Washington.

I could get on board with that. People have no idea how this Name, Image and Likeness is going to change things. There are honestly only about 15-20 schools who are going to be able to keep up with the big brands. Middle of the pack college football programs are going to become even more "have nots".

Would have to make the promotion/relegation based on cumulative record of a few years to allow for recruiting/avoid yo-yo schools at the bottom. Soccer teams play a lot more games giving a much bigger sample size for the year. Quarterback of a “bottom half” team gets knocked out with an ACL week one and you’re probably getting relegated.
