All teams in each the division play each other, the divisions just aren’t permanent and change every two years.
I feel like this would give better options for tie breakers No divisons makes sense for round robin but idk how that would work without it
Divisions only exist because the old ncaa rules required at least 12 teams and divisions to have a championship game. We can say fuck it to those requirements now, so there’s no point in having these ridiculous divisions anymore.
or, or do point differential so i can stop watching saban take his foot off the gas in the middle of the 2nd
There have been plenty of times when the two best teams in a conference were in the same division. Why should that stop them from playing for the championship?
absolute banger schedule every week, and then the added intrigue of the folks at the bottom trying not to get relegated. plus the tournament to get promoted would be fire too.
First, my index finger is worn out from awarding likes herein. Second, I didn't know our natty would have this ripple effect. Thoughts and prayers to the Big 12. We killed it.
People close to the gulf coast division Texas A&M LSU Florida Woooooo pig boomer clanga toddy division OU Ark Ole Miss Miss State I do declaya division Alabama Auburn Georgia Scar Moonshine and meth division Mizzou Kentucky Vandy Tennessee Yep no matter how you slice it geographically, that last one is always imbalanced.
Are we posting pod predictions? OU (Miss St, Bama, Florida) Texas (Ole Miss, Vandy, Georgia) Texas A&M (LSU, Auburn, South Carolina) Arkansas (Mizzou, Tennessee, Kentucky) Mizzou (Arkansas, Vandy, Florida) LSU (Texas A&M, Bama, South Carolina) Ole Miss (Texas, Tennessee, Georgia) Miss St (OU, Auburn, Kentucky) Bama (Oklahoma, LSU, Kentucky) Auburn (Texas A&M, Miss St, Georgia) Vandy (Texas, Mizzou, South Carolina) Tennessee (Arkansas, Ole Miss, Florida) Kentucky (Arkansas, Miss St, Bama) South Carolina (Texas A&M, LSU, Vandy) Georgia (Texas, Ole Miss, Auburn) Florida (OU, Mizzou, Tennessee) Play three pod-teams every year, Play three permanent non-pod teams every year, Play three rotating non-pod teams every year, Play three non-conference games every year (this is not necessarily what I want, but what I can see the conference deciding on, as it gives Bama Vandy every year, as well as their two biggest rivals, and gives LSU a relatively easy pod. It also preserves a lot, if not all, major rivalries, either with games within each pod, or through scheduling permanent opponents outside of the pods)
Moonshine and Meth division is so spot on if steamengine is anywhere close to correct I will call it that foeva
I'm hearing Baylor is already talking to FS1 about timeslots for our games against Central Idaho Tech in the new conference.
Baylor and Liberty looking into starting the upside down bible trump Christian Jesus League the name and the joke are lazy but then again so are Trumpers
This is probably a scorching hot take, but the more I think about it the more I think college football isn't that sustainable long term on a national level. If Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC, they're going to have 9 of the 12 most valuable brands in the sport. It's going to become so dominant that the sport will become regionalized a la college baseball or hockey. Couple that with 4-6 programs getting all the best players and maybe like 4-5% of the country having a chance to win a natty and I could see a lot of the non-South tuning out in 10-15 years.
I feel like general apathy is building and building among fans of Michigan, psu and usc and those are 3 of the 5 biggest brands outside of what the sec will have.
Ohio State message board poster who seemed to actually be somewhat in the know last go-around: The NBC part is interesting, you’d have to think there’s a Notre Dame tie-in somewhere in there.
If true, b1g porbably will stay on even footing or get more money than the sec but exposure wise is going get hurt a ton.
Its fun to think about but the larger, richer conference always eats the smaller one. The B12 is going to backfill with AAC/BYU.

I don't think it'll ever die outside the South because being able to watch the future NFL stars still has an appeal. Like, people probably tuned into watch Clemson games last year because they thought "hey, that QB is going to be playing for the Jags in 2022." But I could see it losing steam outside the SEC and teams like Clemson and Ohio State. Plus, population trends are going to help the South. Places like Texas and Atlanta are going to continue to grow and the SEC is going to get most of those players. OSU will be able to recruit nationally (they are now) but most won't be able to.
