P5 needs to step away from the NCAA anyway.


I dont think the NCAA needs to change it is a "good" thing for parity across the board for the other divisions etc but it no longer serves a purpose for the big boys

I’m not a huge college football fan these days. Though I will say some of these changes would greatly increase my interest.

I watched the video and I like the regional alignment of seven conferences. It does make much more sense.

It's basically how I have my NCAA 14 conferences set up

1. Fuck byes. No one deserves a bye, ever.
2. I reject any notion of conference realignment that does not have Nebraska and Oklahoma playing each other every year. Oklahoma and Texas managed to play each other even though they weren't in the same conference for most of history - they can do it again.

I'd take a close look and re-align the Conferences which has been discussed many times here.


One thing I would implement, is make it illegal to offer more scholarships than you have. Alabama and many schools do this practice (although I heard Clemson does not, so kudos to Dabo).

Good one. I like that.

I would find a system where players get paid for jersey sales and ads and whatnot. It seems only fair to me that these kids should be getting more (legal) money. Yes, they are going to school for free, but they are also forced to go to College is they ever want to go to the NFL, so it's not as simple to me as people make it out to be.

Make sports a major. No paying.

I would deem it illegal to have anything but a green, grass (or turf) field. Sorry BSU and EMU, but that shit is stupid.

I agree here as well.

I would bring back traditional rivalries like Nebraska vs Oklahoma.

So....7 minor conferences?

No, not sure what you mean. Each conference essentially has 1-2 blue blood powers. B1G with Michigan and Ohio St. Revamped Big 8 has Oklahoma and Nebraska. SWC has Texas.... and A&M. The SEC still has Bama and UGA. I brought the Big East back and put Penn St in there however I think I kept Miami in the ACC with FSU as that just made sense regionally. Notre Dame I believe stayed independent. It has been a while since I played it, I don't remember exactly, but I do know they were structured very similar to the video.

If this is about bowls, I changed that too. I kept the basic tie-ins like Rose with the PAC and the B1G, the Sugar would keep an SEC team, the Orange would feature one from the revamped Big8 and all the others would be at larges - I looked it up when making it, if there was a tie-in pre-2000 I kept it, if there wasn't then it was an at large.

Screw it, go to a 16 team playoff like the FCS does succesfully.

All 10 FBS conference champs get an auto bid, plus 6 at large. Win your conference, you're in. Scheduling a tough OOC game helps you for an at large spot. Seed where the first two rounds are played at the higher seeded home stadium. Final four then go to the current CFP system of bowl tie-ins.

If you're worried about losing to a MAC, AAC, or even a .500 team in the first round of the playoffs, then you don't deserve to be a champion. Hell, UVA was the first 1 seed to lose to a 16, and we can all agree that's great for fan interest.


This scenario has been discussed many times over for a decade plus, but I still see it as the only scenario that every FBS team has a chance, while allowing for tough scheduling in at large spots. With as much subjectivity in rankings, this will settle it on the field. I mean, the Giants are still considered the champs over the Patriots.

Don't give me the "every game matters", BS, because you still have a chance at an at-large with a loss. Defined goal of win your conference/what's on your schedule and you're in the playoffs. You may have to win 4 more games to be crowned NC, but if you do, you're winning 4 straight against the best of the best. Who can really say that they didn't deserve the NC after that?



Pipe dream, I know. However, you did say if I was the Czar.

No more ejections for "targetting". Or first half of next game carry overs. Hate. Hate. Hate.

Complete overhaul of OT. Just play football.

What's wrong with overtime? It's the best imo.

How would byes in an 8-team playoff work?

Simple, the SEC champ and runner up get a bye, everybody else plays in two 3 team round robin tournaments on the Friday of Semi-Final Weekend with the winners advancing to play the SEC teams on Saturday, easy peasy. I swear, sometimes you guys make this simple shit complicated.

What would the first change or couple of changes you would make?

I would have put a rule in about games that are cancelled or postponed because of the virus. Why should a team that is doing everything right be penalized if a game can't be played? The team that could have played gets a W. The team that could not play because they had too many missing players gets a L. If the game is eventually played, the results would be either left the same or changed depending on who won the game.

1. abolish the targeting rule
2. Establish a rugby like “wrap rule”. You must wrap the ball carrier for a legal tackle.
3. hands to face would include ball carriers
4. 12 team playoff. Top 4 teams get byes

Wrap the ball carrier? But a lot of tackles on returns don't have the ball carrier wrapped. He's either knocked down by going into a pile of players or he's hit at an angle because he's going like a mofo and top speed tackles often don't involve wrapping someone. And what about a shoe string tackle at any time? I think what you're trying to avoid is spearing. Am I right?

It’s about attempting to wrap. It’s hard to use your head if you attempt to wrap up. Even a shoestring tackle you are reaching out trying to grab the ball carrier, that works. Whaat doesn’t work is simply launching yourself at a ball carrier receiver. I want to regulate how a player tackles, not the result of the tackle. Current rule doesn’t care about the how, just if 2 helmets meet and that is ridiculous.

Spearing is a rule that has been in place for decades. It just isn’t enforced. I would certainly settle for spearing to be enforced. I mean by enforcing it on the defense and the ball carrier. RBs are some of the worst violators of the rule

What happens when a team like Vandy gets a "win" over Alabama? Would that keep them out of the playoff?

It could. A L is a L. Unless Alabama played Vanderbilt later and beat them to erase the L and turn it into a W. Same with OU so I'm not playing favorites. Let's say Oklahoma couldn't play some shitty team left on its schedule and they had to eat a L which knocked them out of the conference championship game. Tough twinkies. Should have been more careful, Sooners, about staying healthy since the other team took care of their business and you didn't.
 
Create promotion-relegation rules to move out teams that are P5 but don't put in effort and reward G5 teams that do.
 
Watching Alabama winning 56-3 in the 4th and this game being 'over' for an hour, I'd have a rolling clock for all game where the difference in score is 28 points in the second half.
