“CFBU”

False, truthfully I was going to see if I could go Year without this place. But with so much happening in CFB and my team pretty Much fucked i decided to put in my idea.

But I would never dump you for anyone else sugar.
You got 120 days in County, didn’t you?
 
Oh, look… saying what I’ve been saying forever.

 
1. Kill the ncaa. Start a new league, “COLLEGE FOOTBALL UNION.”
2. CFBU organizing 64 member schools into four 16-team divisions.
3. Each division plays a nine-game division schedule.
4. The division schedule is set up into a four-team-pods OR three-permanent-rivals scheme.
5. The two teams in each division with the best intra-div records play in a DCG (divisional championship game) to decide Divisional Champ.
6. 8 or 12-team CFBU playoff.
7. Four Division champions are guaranteed the four top seeds in the CFBU Playoffs.
Remaining playoff slots go to the next top ranked teams decided by the rankings of some (AP/CFP/BCS-type/ or some new CFBU) ranking scheme.
8. Quarterfinals (and play-in round in a 12-team playoff scheme) cannot feature divisional opponents.
OPTIONAL:
9. No more than 3 teams from any division in an 8-team playoff. No more than 4 teams from any division in a 12-team playoff.

How about 8 divisions full of 8 teams? 1 crossover per other divisions and you play the corresponding team based on where you finished in your division. So the team that finished 5th in their division last year would play the 5 other teams that finished 5th in their division last year and so on for all the other 7 teams. Remove teams scheduling themselves.

14 game season. No division championships. Top 2 move on to playoff, plus the top 4 highest ranked at large for a 32 team bracket. Or I guess you could do top of each division plus 2 highest ranked at large for 16 teams.

I have solved CFB.

The more teams let into the playoffs, the lower the Gators fall.

Lets go back to 2 teams.

I'm solving it. Right here. Right now.

Remember when dumbasses tried to say the BCS "makes the regular season like a playoff." (It didn't actually and it shouldn't have because a regular season should be like .... wait for it .... a regular season!)

Here we can actually make the regular season "like a playoff".

In a playoff, you lose and your season is over. That's what we will do here. Almost like Survivor Football.

You play in Week 1. Whoever loses, their season is over. Whoever wins gets to play in Week 2 and so on.

Until only one team is left standing and they are the champions of the "regular season is like a playoff".
 
How do they select the 64 teams? Obviously the first 40 couple are easy but to get to 64 how do they select that back end?
Regarding “financial only” I’d say closer to 25-30 are easy. There are several “legacy members” that are many rungs below the “biggies”.

How about setting an “ante minimum” for lack of a better term? Then let the schools decide if they can want in that poker game or not. Self select. If it is 54, that’s the number. If 72, that’s the number.

Of course that ante could be set to get the number desired to start with.😂
 
you say: five years from now we will form a new league with the teams that finish in the top 64 of the rankings
And then relegation. Bottom team in each division gets dropped down
 
This doesn't support your idea of a CFBU. The problem with your idea has always been that the main conferences aren't going away. Doing what you want kills what is great about college football, and you are left with NFL-lite. What we have now is more like the NFL, but it maintains regionality, at least for the SEC, rivalries, and tradition. Your Union kills that.

1. I quoted the part I wanted to.
2. The conferences are already “going away” in a way with the constant restructuring.
3. There’s nothing in CFBU that is mutually exclusive with regionality.
4. It’s already nfl lite.

2. There are only three teams left with value - FSU, Clemson and ND. ND says they are staying independent. At most the SEC goes to 18, or the B1G goes to 20. There will be no more restructuring after that.

3. As I pointed out, the SEC is still most regional. Every team is in a contiguous state. The Texas schools, OU, and Mizzou are kind of far out there, but you can pretty much driver everywhere if you want or need to. Fuck the others, don't care. But, they all have their core teams in regions - Atlantic Coast, Midwest, Southest, and fuck the B12.

4. Sure, it's getting more like it, but we still have the fact most of us went to the schools we pull for, you have pagentry and traditions that yo don't have with the NFL. Lose that and you will lose a lot of fans.

The Super Conference idea is DOA. It was never going to happen. Especially now that you have two conferences that are, in essence Super Conferences. It'll never happen.
