I've posted this a lot, I know - everyone hates me for it, but I love it.


I like the realignment and scheduling.

the rule changes in the beginning - I could live with, though I don't truly care. I am not about that recruiting and uniform crap though.

10 leagues 65 P5 including ND
6 teams per league with 5 left over
consider teams like Kansas, Arkansas, Rutgers, Colorado, Vandy any better than a top G5 team? and so 5 conferences would have 7 P5s?
could really do this based on divisions as they are now anyway.


like

Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford, Boise, Fresno, Nevada, Wyoming, Hawaii, UNLV

USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado, Texas Tech, San Diego State, BYU, Utah State, New Mexico Colorado State

For fuck sake, like UGA is going to go from being in the SEC to playing in a conference with:

UCF, USF, FAU, FIU, GaState, GaSouthern, and school so obscure I don't recognize its logo (turns out its UAB, the fuck?)

Even though I am an old fashioned traditionalist, football has gotten to the point where it needs alignment that is totally separated from other sports IMHO.

alright i think i did it using his teams and his 12 teams model.
I put 6 P5 in each with 5 of 10 having 7 but like i said before do we really care when teams like Rutgers and Kansas are considered Power 5? I dont think any i did are exactly his but might be similar.

Honestly, just as bad as OP. He tries to jazz it up by allowing schools to offer pussy to recruits, but is still bullshit.

The most realistic realignment would be the FBS contracting with super conferences.

I liked it because I enjoy reading other ideas on the matter, but I reject Nebraska being in any conference that doesn't have Oklahoma.

Yes, I know Nebraska is in the Big Ten... my stance isn't changing.

NOTE: Admittedly, I'm not in love with this SWC. It has more than enough heavyweights, but has its fair share of lightweights as well.

Everyone plays a round robin schedule within the conference. You can either eliminate the CCG or take the top-2 from each and play a CCG. I'm good either way.

for my set i had Nebraska and Iowa as the 2 mains for that conference with Iowa State and Missouri as the 2 that may pop up here and there. maybe kansas state. and them Memphis as your upper G5 team
i felt like it was a decently competitive grouping

Think realignment doesn't happen after all this.. which I feel for WVU, but they will still make some pretty coin despite the travel costs being in the Big 12
