The better question is how to get centipede out of your growing bermuda lawn.

Is it possible to convert a centipede lawn over to bermuda? Would it do anything to over-seed with bermuda, or would that be a waste of time?

Sethoxydim - same active ingredient in Vantage (mentioned above), High Yield Grass Killer, and some other brands. Expect some temporary yellowing of the centipede.

if mother nature wants bermuda to take over your centipede lawn, who are you to stop it? why are you going to put up a fight when mother nature is undefeated. the conditions of your lawn may be better suited for bermuda.

Possible? I'd venture to say inevitable unless you put heavy pressure on the bermuda.

If this is the route you want to go, find a herbicide that will kill centipede but not the bermuda (I'll defer to Ronk or Craw here), but a quick search says Revolver, Monument or Drive and cut as low as you can.

You’re correct. I didn’t know if it was a real question or not but low mowing, high fertilization, bringing the ph to 6.5-7, and anything with quinclorac would do the trick.
