AnythingChicago Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Here's my take on a College Football postseason.32 teams (10 conference champions and 22 at-large) compete in a single-elimination bracket format.Duration: approximately five weeks (second weekend of December to third weekend of January).Each of the first 28 games will take place in a bowl site that is determined chiefly by the geographical location of the highest seeded teams (much like the NCAA basketball tournament).The semifinal and final would operate exactly as it does now, with the two semifinal games rotating between the predetermined large bowls, and the final being played in a predetermined site.Eight bowl games (or greater if more are added) would exist for non-playoff qualifying schools. Currently, those bowl games are the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the Raycom Media Camelia Bowl, the Boca Raton Bowl, the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman, and the GoDaddy Bowl.Below is an example of what a 2015 version of the format outlined above might look like. (Disclaimer: I seeded the teams yesterday, so the seeds do not reflect any of the conference championship games and follow the Week 15 College Football Playoff Rankings.)Seeds (all-caps denotes conference champion):1s: Alabama (1), Oregon (2), Florida State (3), Ohio State (4)2s: Baylor (5), TCU (6), Mississippi State (7), Michigan State (8)3s: Ole Miss (9), Arizona (10), Kansas State (11), Georgia Tech (12)4s: Georgia (13), UCLA (14), Arizona State (15), Missouri (16)5s: Clemson (17), Wisconsin (18), Auburn (19), Boise State (20)6s: Louisville (21) Utah (22), LSU (23), USC (24)7s: Minnesota (25), Nebraska (NR/26), Oklahoma (NR/27), Marshall (NR/28)8s: Memphis (NR/29), Duke (NR/30), Northern Illinois (NR/31), Georgia Southern (NR/32)First six out: Colorado State, Air Force, Cincinnati, UCF, West Virginia, Stanford Edited December 7, 2014 by AnythingChicago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29texan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 You do realize that TCU would absolutely dominate the AAC with little to no competition...You know... I don't get it. TCU already spent about 15 years outside of a "major conference" and was pretty much dominant in the WAC, C-USA, and Mountain West. The program has been built to prove that they belong to be on a bigger stage. In just the 3rd year of being in the Big XII (which we were denied when the conference originally formed back in the mid 90s) we've already won at least a share of the conference title and just this close to being one of the final four. Putting TCU back in those kinds of conferences would be a huge step BACKWARDS, so what's up with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 So Bowl Season is upon us, and frankly, there are too many bowls. There is no reason for two 6-6 teams to play in a place like Montgomery, or the Bahamas. So heres my solution, trim the bowls to 30(plus the championship), each in a different city(minus the championship). the 60 teams that make it all have to win 7 games to be bowl eligable. The top 4 teams determined by the playoff committee play in the playoffs. The next 8 teams play in the other 4 rotating bowls on New Years Eve and New Years Day. The other 24 games happen before this, each spread out over the conferences. The power 5 conferences get 5 bowl games outside the playoff 6 bowls, the remaining conferences get 4, and the independents get 3. If the conference doesnt have enough 7 win teams, the left over 7 win teams fill the holes. I tried to keep the bowl game conferences based on bowl history, and geography.The Big 12 and ACC couldnt fill their spots, so they were allocated to 7 win Stanford, Houston, Texas St, and San Diego St. No team could play an in conference team, which is why Kansas St moved up a bowl.For the most part, the teams get better the later into the bowl season. The exception to this is the MAC champion playing the 5th SEC team, which is pretty self explainable. Quote @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlog3000 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Back on my previous post, I made a super-conference realignment based on the P5 conferences (including the old Big East) http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/99972-the-pointless-realignment-outpost/?p=2341480 Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the format I realigned was prior to the 2011-12 season. Now I have made a 2nd super-conference format of aligning the current Go5 FBS conferences (including the former WAC) also prior to the 2010-11 season: 1.) East Coast Region 1.1.) East Coast - North: Massachusetts*, Temple, Army, Marshall, East Carolina, Navy, Old Dominion*, James Madison* 1.2.) East Coast - South: Appalachian St.*, UNC-Charlotte*, Georgia Southern*, Georgia St.*, UCF, FAU, FIU, USF 2.) South Region 2.1.) South - East: Southern Miss, South Alabama*, Troy, UAB, Louisiana Tech, Tulane, ULL, ULM 2.2.) South - West: Houston, Rice, UTSA*, Texas St.*, Tulsa, North Texas, SMU, TCU 3.) Midwest Region 3.1.) Midwest - East: Buffalo, Kent St., Akron, Ohio, Ball St., Toledo, Bowling Green, Miami (Oh.) 3.2.) Midwest - West: Arkansas St., Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee St., Memphis, Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan 4.) West Region 4.1.) West - Pacific: Hawaii, Fresno St., San Diego St., San Jose St., Nevada, UNLV, Boise St., Idaho 4.2.) West - Mountain: Utah, Utah St., Wyoming, Colorado St., Air Force, New Mexico, New Mexico St., UTEP The only team left out on this realignment without a conference is BYU. Plus, the addition of USF from the P5 group; and Utah & TCU still remain in the Go5. Your thoughts guys? Happy New Years 2015!

2001mark Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I wonder if we'll ever see college football's playoff geographically structured like basketball, & that's with or without the NCAA years from now.West, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast. 4 regional title games with any FBS school eligible. In essence it would be an 8 school playoff without officially being an 8 team playoff as is now. I.E. Some ACC teams like Boston College, Syracuse would be Northeast competitors... FSU, Miami, etc would try to win a Southeast birth against most SEC teams. And there also, Texas A&M would be a Midwest, & so on. Conference titles would be rewarded entirely on table standings, like Euro soccer.The Pac-12 I find is an attractive entity not least its uniform geographic set up like pro sports.
