DPV713 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Because I'm bored outta my mind (and it's torrential downpour outside) I decided to name all of my bowl games for my re-alignment idea. BCS Bowls are listed in order by date (once a day from 1/1 to 1/8). The non-BCS bowls are three a day from 12/23 to 12/31 (no games on 12/25), but the dates for individual bowls vary from year to year.BCS BowlsRose Bowl presented by Citi - Pasadena, CATostitos Fiesta Bowl - Glendale, AZNew Era Empire Bowl - Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NYAT&T Cotton Bowl - Dallas, TXDiscover Orange Bowl - Miami, FLVolkswaggen International Bowl - Toronto, CanadaAllstate Sugar Bowl - New Orleans, LABCS National Championship - varies location year by year in any stadium not occupied by a BCS BowlNon-BCS BowlsValero Alamo Bowl - San Antonio, TXKraft American Bowl - Washington, DCBell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl - Baltimore, MD (I thought Baltimore was a better location than Fort Worth)R+L Carriers Bayou Bowl - New Orleans, LACapital One Bowl - Orlando, FLEmerald Bowl - San Francisco, CAGatorade Gator Bowl - Jacksonville, FLApplebees Gulf of Mexico Bowl - Tallahassee, FLSheraton Hawai'i Bowl - Honululu, HIExpedia Holiday Bowl - San Diego, CAU-Drove Humanitarian Bowl - Boise, IDAdvocare 100 Independence Bowl - Shreveport, LAFord Industrial Bowl - Detroit, MIMAACO Las Vegas Bowl - Las Vegas, NVPepsi Meadowlands Bowl - East Rutherford, NJGolden Corral Music City Bowl - Nashville, TN (maybe a different sponsor?)Honda New Mexico Bowl - Albequerque, NM (maybe no sponsor at all)Outback Bowl - Tampa, FLGillette Patriot Bowl - Foxboro, MAChick-Fil-A Peachtree Bowl - Atlanta, GANike Pro Combat Bowl - Seattle, WA (honestly when I mad this I had an idea Nike takes over the FBS...if I change sponsors I change name of bowl)Playstation South Beach Bowl - Miami, FLHyundai Sun Bowl - El Paso, TXHead & Shoulders Wrigley Bowl - Chicago, IL (maybe try to configure the field so no one runs into an outfield wall?)When I have an idea, I become obsessed with it.

YessSir32 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 OK, just completed all of the teams!As expected the Big 12 folds. Also, the Big East unexpectedly disappears. The rest of the conferences pan out like so: (links in conference names)Big Ten - As soon as the Big East becomes no more, the B1G brings in Pitt quickly. They bring in Kansas because of their strong basketball program and Missouri follows. After the new teams join, Notre Dame finally agrees to make the move.SEC - When the Big 12 starts to crumble, the SEC is quick to grab Texas A&M and Baylor. Clemson and Florida State follow from the ACC.PAC-16 - The PAC-12 would soon also feed off of the fallen Big 12 as they expand east and grab Texas Tech and Kansas State. The new conference is called PAC-16.ACC - Once Florida State and Clemson leave for the SEC, the ACC takes Connecticut and West Virgina. Later on they eat up most of the Big East taking South Florida, Rutgers, Syracuse, Cincinnati. This leaves the Big East left in the dark.Mountain West - Boise and TCU are unable to find a willing conference since they have weak basketball programs. The Mountain West wants to merge with the WAC. That gets turned down, but the WAC programs like the idea. They all join except for Louisiana Tech. UTEP joins as well. The WAC folds.MAC - Not much going on here. They only extend an offer to Marshall and they accept.C-USA - With Marshall and UTEP gone, the C-USA is looking for new members. With their conferences gone, Iowa State and Louisville are left in the dust. No one comes knocking, so they join the C-USA.Sun Belt - With the WAC gone, the Sun Belt Conference nabs Louisiana Tech. Texas decides to go independent joining Army, Navy and BYU.I'll post scheduling and BSC stuff later.Tell me what you think! This took a while.So now for the scheduling.For the 16 team conferences, the given team will play all other 7 divisional opponents. They only get one protected rivalry from the other conference. 14 team conferences are the same, but they have two protected rivalries because there obviously isn't 8 team divisions. So you can guess how 10 team conferences work. *All teams play 4 non-conference games. The independents will all play each other once and you'll know why later.Now, I've decided to go with a tournament instead of bowls. I'm going with a 32 team bracket. The conferences are all guaranteed a certain amount of tourney spots. B1G gets 4 tourney spotsSEC gets 4 tourney spotsPAC 16 gets 4 tourney spotsACC gets 4 tourney spotsMWC gets 3 tourney spotsC-USA gets 3 tourney potsMAC gets 2 tourney spotsSBC gets 2 tourney spotsThe top 2 Independents also get tourney spots.This leaves for spots, the 5th and 6th place teams from the B1G, PAC, ACC and SEC conferences will have a play-in for those final four spots.

Bracket pics up in a few so you can have a visual. Whatcha think?I really like the schedule structure and the playoff format, but IMO, the top team in each conference qualifies, followed by the top 23 non-conference winners. I'm looking at the SEC, and even if the 5th place team from there (say for arguments sake, LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Florida State auto-qualify, and South Carolina gets a play in), there is still (again, IMO) two or three teams being snubbed from the championship picture. I wouldn't really expect two teams from the MAC worthy of qualifying for a championship tourney, but I could easily see five or six from your SEC.

mbannon92 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 @YessSir32The one major problem would be that the SEC would grab Louisville WAAAAAYYY before they brag Baylor. Baylor is a small religious institution, and Louisville is a major research university.Never thought I'd say this, but I agree with speenenator There's no way Louisville would go back to the C-USA. They would end up in the SEC or ACC.Oh yeah, F*** Notre Dame, too. They can keep their independence and remain irrelevant.I know I go there, so I'm a little biased, but that would never happen. We have a special BCS tie-in for cripes sake. And you say remain irrelevant...we haven't done anything the last 15+ years and we're still relevant and the topic of much conversation.

Seadragon76 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Time to give it my shot.For my plan, it will be 124 teams. This means that UMass, South Alabama, Texas State and Texas-San Antonio will be members of the FBS here. First off, the four Independents remain the same: Army, BYU, Notre Dame and Navy.

GriffinM6 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Here's Something Interesting. Why not 8 conferences throughout the FBS? North, South, East, West, North Atlantic, Southeast, Central, Southwest. The conferences have a main color. North(green), East(orange), West(black), South(purple), North Atlantic(Blue), Southwest(red), Southeast(gold), Central(Brown). The boundaries are the conference colors. and the split in the conferences are the divisions. There will be 15 teams per conference, except for the Southwestern with 16 and Central conference with 14 teams. Each conference will have 2 divisions, either a south and north, or a west and east. Every team within a state will play each other once, this does not apply to teams with no other teams within their state. That rule also will not apply for Texas, as each Texas team will not have played 5 of the teams from their state.Then teams will play an amount of other teams from their conference that adds up to 8 games. Then the teams will play 4 out of conference games. The 2 division winners from each conference will play for the conference championship. Both teams will automatically make the playoffs, but the game is for higher seed, and bye week. The 1-4 seeds in the country will get 2 bye weeks. The 8 seeds will get 1 bye week and the 9-16 teams will play until they're eliminated. In week 1 of the playoffs the 9-16 teams will play, the 4 teams that advance will paly the 5-8 seeds. The 4 teams that advance will aply the 1-4 seeds, then the 4 advancing teams will be in the semifinals and finally the 2 teams that advance make it to the championship. While all that was happening, 8 other teams from each conference will play in bowl games. The 2nd place team from each conference will play in the BCS bowls. All bowl games will be played on weekdays, while all playoff games will be played on saturdays, except for the natonal championship which is on a monday. North: Minnesota, C.Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, Western Michigan, Ohio State, Ohio, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Akron, BuffaloSouth: All 10 teams in Texas, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, UL Lafeyette, and UL Monore. East: All 7 Florida Teams, all 4 Alabama teams, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech,Georgia, and Wake Forest. West: All 7 California teams, Oregon State, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, Nevada, UNLV, Boise State, Hawaii.Southeast: LSU, Tulane, Arkansas, Arkansas State, all 4 Tennessee teams, Missouri, Clemson, South Carolina, ECU, Duke, UNC, and NC State.North Atlantic: Virginia, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Boston College, Syracuse, Rutgers, UConn, Cinncinati, Marshall, Navy, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisville, Army, Miami(OH).Central: Iowa, Iowa State, Illinois, Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana, North Western, Bowling Green, Ball State, Kent State, Temple, Kent State, Mississippi State, Southern Miss.Southwestern: Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Utah State, BYU, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Wyoming, Air Force, Colorado, Colorado State, Kansas, Kansas State.That's the finished product.

(The Big Ten did this when Penn State joined. The Big 8/XII should have done this when The Texas Schools joined. That's what killed The Oklahoma-Nebraska Rivalry.)I'd also allow traditional rivalries that would be now inter-conference: WVU-Pitt, Oklahoma-Nebraska, etc. George Ashburn - My Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Alright, I decided to try my hand at this... don't be too critical, as I'm not huge on NCAA football. Basically, what I did was turn Division I into a two-tiered system where only teams in the top division in any given year have a shot at the BCS.In the First Tier, there are 4 conferences of 16 teams each, 100% geographical. Each conference has two divisions of 8 teams. Every team will play one game against each divisional opponent, three games against teams from the other division, and two games against non-conference rival teams. This creates a regular season of 12 games.For the playoffs, each conference's division winners are drawn into a tournament where conference division winners are placed in opposing brackets and then matched randomly for the first round. The randomness is because, in theory, all four conferences may not be equal, and thus team records may not best indicate which team should be ranked where. As placeholders, the conferences are named the Pacific Coast Conference, the Central Conference, the Northeast Conference and the Southeast Conference.Example of the playoff:PCC west champ PCC east champvs vsCC north champ NEC west champNEC east champ SEC east champvs vsSEC west champ CC south champThe winners move on, and the losers play in a loser's bracket.CCn (1-0) PCCe (1-0)vs vsNECe (1-0) CCs (1-0)__________ ___________PCCw (0-1) NECw (0-1)vs vsSECw (0-1) SECe (0-1)From here, the two 2-0 teams play for the BCS Championship, the two teams that lost to the 2-0 teams play in the Rose Bowl, the two teams that beat the other 0-1 teams play in the Cotton Bowl,and the two 0-2 teams play in the Orange Bowl.CCn (2-0) NECe (1-1) SECw (1-1) PCCw (0-2)vs vs vs vsPCCe (2-0) CCs (1-1) SECe (1-1) NECw (0-2)__________ __________ __________ __________Concurrently to these playoffs, there are two other playoff-like situations occurring. The first involves the two lowest-ranked teams in each division of every conference. Each 7th-place team faces the opposing 8th-place team, with the loser being relegated to the Second Tier of NCAA Division-1 football. Thus, a total of8 teams will be demoted in any given year, two from each conference.Also, the 2nd-through-6th-place teams in each division are eligible for the lesser bowl games, usually requiring a play-in.Teams that do not qualify are entitled to play in exhibition games, usually against out-of-conference rivals, and sometimes against Second Tier schools._________________________________________________________________Pacific Coast Conference WestCalifornia Golden BearsUSC TrojansStanford CardinalUCLA BruinsNevada Wolf PackUNLV RebelsOregon DucksOregon State Beavers EastArizona WildcatsArkansas RazorbacksAir Force FalconsBoise State BroncosKansas JayhawksOklahoma SoonersOklahoma State CowboysBrigham Young CougarsCentral Conference NorthIndiana HoosiersNotre Dame Fighting IrishPurdue BoilermakersIowa HawkeyesMinnesota Golden GophersMissouri TigersNebraska CornhuskersWisconsin Badgers SouthLSU TigersTulane Green WaveOle Miss RebelsBaylor BearsTCU Horned FrogsTexas LonghornsTexas A&M AggiesTexas Tech Red RaidersNortheast Conference WestMichigan WolverinesMichigan State SpartansCincinnati BearcatsOhio State BuckeyesPittsburgh PanthersKentucky WildcatsLouisville CardinalsTennessee Volunteers EastConnecticut HuskiesMaryland TerrapinsNavy MidshipmenBoston College EaglesArmy Black KnightsSyracuse OrangePenn State Nittany LionsTemple OwlsSoutheast Conference WestAlabama Crimson Tide Auburn TigersFlorida GatorsFlorida State SeminolesMiami HurricanesSouth Florida BullsGeorgia BulldogsGeorgia Tech Yellow Jackets EastDuke Blue DevilsNorth Carolina Tar HeelsNorth Carolina State WolfpackVirginia CavaliersVirginia Tech HokiesWest Virginia MountaineersClemson TigersSouth Carolina Gamecocks__________________________________________________________________Second TierFor the Second Tier Division I NCAA teams, the primary objective is to advance to the First Tier. The regular season is much the same as the First Tier's, with each team plays one game against each divisional opponent, three games against teams from the opposite division, and two games against non-conference rival teams. This creates a regular season of 12 games.After the regular season, the top team in each division plays the winner of a play-in game between the second-place and third-place teams from the opposing division of its conference. The Winner of each of these games is entitled to be promoted to the First Tier.Teams not qualifying for these tournaments may play exhibition games against rivals, usually non-conference opponents, but occasionally First Tier teams as well.Pacific Coast Conference II WestFresno State BulldogsSan Diego State AztecsSan José State SpartansHawaii WarriorsIdaho VandalsMontana GrizzliesWashington HuskiesWashington State Cougars EastArizona State Sun DevilsColorado BuffaloesColorado State RamsNew Mexico LobosNew Mexico State AggiesUtah UtesUtah State AggiesWyoming CowboysCentral Conference II EastArkansas State Red WolvesIowa State CyclonesKansas State WildcatsLouisiana-Monroe WarhawksLouisiana Tech BulldogsMississippi State BulldogsSouthern Miss Golden EaglesTulsa Golden Hurricane WestLouisiana-Lafayette Ragin' CajunsHouston CougarsNorth Texas Mean GreenRice OwlsSMU MustangsUTEP MinersTexas State BobcatsUTSA RoadrunnersSoutheast Conference II WestUAB BlazersSouth Alabama JaguarsTroy TrojansEastern Kentucky ColonelsWestern Kentucky HilltoppersMemphis TigersMiddle Tennessee Blue RaidersVanderbilt Commodores EastAppalachian State MountaineersFIU Golden PanthersFlorida Atlantic OwlsUCF KnightsGeorgia Southern EaglesEast Carolina PiratesWake Forest Demon DeaconsMarshall Thundering HerdNortheast Conference II WestIllinois Fighting IlliniNorthern Illinois HuskiesNorthwestern WildcatsBall State CardinalsCentral Michigan ChippewasWestern Michigan BroncosMiami RedHawksOhio Bobcats EastUMass MinutemenEastern Michigan EaglesRutgers Scarlet KnightsBuffalo BullsAkron ZipsBowling Green FalconsKent State Golden FlashesToledo Rockets(side note: I needed 64 teams in the Second Tier for everything to mesh, so the teams that got added were ones that are already on their way to being Division I teams, or that have solid programs in Division I-AA.)

DaRadniz29 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well this is one of the things I do for fun and to entertain myself. With all the talk of Super Conferences starting with Texas A&M and now possibly Oklahoma, I though I'd post here my take. So here we go. First, I only have 4 "Super Conferences" of 16 teams each. PAC 16Starting with the Pac 12 that will become the Pac 16. I used the model that's circulating the airwaves of Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Two divisions "Oceanic" and "Southwest" - and yes, I know Washington State isn't on the Ocean, but for this set up - they're close enough.OCEANICWashingtonWashington StateOregon StateOregonStanfordCaliforniaSouthern CaliforniaUCLASOUTHWESTUtahColoradoArizonaArizona StateOklahomaOklahoma StateTexas Texas TechB16The B1G "10" becomes the "BIG 16 or just BIG as they're brand kind of emulates currently. Just change that "I" to a 1 and the 0-G to a 6-G. Also yes, I think if there are super conference with the potential of a college playoff of some sort (You can still have a playoff and STILL have the bowl games, but that's for a another time). In any case if super conferences become a reality, Notre Dame will likely join.GREAT PLAINSIowaNebraskaMinnesotaWisconsinNorthwesternIllinoisIndianaMissouriGREAT LAKESPenn StatePittsburghOhio StateMichigan StateMichiganPurdueNotre DameSyracuseYeah, the Lakes might seem stacked to some, but it works itself out... most of the time SECThis was one of the hardest to figure out. I had Clemson, FSU, Miami, Maryland and GA Tech as potentials for expansion. Texas A&M was already considered in and placed in the SEC West. I've been reading that FSU is considering a jump to the SEC. Yes, the Gators will try to block them, but I think while FSU will bring recruiting challenges to Florida and the other surrounding states they're too much of a revenue machine to leave out. So they get in and are placed in the West. So with the SEC west set we focus on the East. I thought about West Virginia as well, and their addition would certainly expand the SEC footprint. VT also is an option. However just for region sake I chose Georgia Tech and Clemson. Though South Carolina and Georgia blocking GA Tech could pose an issue. If those blocks are successful, look for two of these three or ALL three: WVU, Virginia, Virginia Tech to jump the Big East/ACC for the SEC.

So the ACC raids the Big EastNORTHWest VirginiaRutgersBoston CollegeUCONNMarylandCincinnatiVirginia TechVirginiaSOUTHMiamiDukeNorth CarolinaWake ForestNC StateSouth FloridaLouisvilleEast CarolinaThe other conferences would look to expand as well, for instance the MWC would most likely would add Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and possibly TCU and BYU. The Big East would have to figure out something, but they may just merge with the ACC. If that happens TCU jets for the MWC 16CUSA would probably have teams headed for another conference as well. The Sunbelt and MAC seem unchanged for the most part. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenorOkie Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 OK... So, if I could blow up all the conferences, this would be my "Fantasy League....":Conference 66: The Mother Road ConferenceNorth:Notre Dame, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma StateSouth:Texas, Texas Tech, New Mexico, Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, USCEvery team plays all of their division (6 games), 1 permanent cross-division rival, plus 2 additional rotating cross-division gamesCross-division rivalries:Oklahoma/Texas (In Dallas)USC/Notre DameTexas Tech/Oklahoma StateThe rest would be "fillers," as there are no "natural rivalries..."UCLA/Illinois?Arizona State/Kansas State?Arizona/Kansas?New Mexico/Missouri?*Oklahoma/Texas would (as always) be played in Dallas. Additionally, Kansas/Missouri would resume play in Kansas City, and Notre Dame/Illinois would play in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Simple math tells me that 128 teams in FBS (I wouldn't be surprised if this is a reality in the near future) could be organized into 8 conferences of 16 members.8 conference championships between the two division winners, then 4 quarter-final matchups (bowl games or not, doesn't matter to me), then two national semifinals and the national championship. 16 weeks of college football, all tied together nicely.As for the schedule:4 divisional games4 opposite division games4 out-of-conference games (just in case the Independents still want to be involved in some fashion, this should help them out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
