Is it time to give Relegation serious consideration in CFB? It may save the game.

As we can all see, a Super League is forming in CFB and it will change the landscape and the game as we know it. It will be a game of Haves and Have-nots.

But with relegation, it will give lesser programs something to really play for.

Divide the landscape into three sub divisions: AAA, Minor, and Premier.

The Top three teams in the two lower subdivisions every year advance to the next tier, and the bottom three of the top two subdivisions relegate to the next lower tier.

It would also help keep Power programs now doing everything they can to not fall too far and possibly face relegation.

It would help make the season important and some what special for fans of every program if they had something to chase, like advancing to the Premier Group. Even if they get relegated the next season, that season would still be memorable.

It works in Soccer.

Thoughts?

I’ve put some thought into this and it could actually be exciting but unlike premier the turnover in college means a team can 15-0 and then 5-5 the next season. It would have to be like a multi year tier thing where like you have to have more than one really bad season to be relegated.

However a matchup with the top B team and bottom A team, where the loser gets relegated would be ratings Gold, and pretty fun.

I’m from the Government and I’m here to fix it, has an outstanding track record of both predictable and intended outcomes.

Relegation makes sport better, but it can’t work for American fb

Too much money involved. Getting relegated would kill viewership and attendance.

How would it help the game? All that's going to do is make the 99% of the fanbase of the relegated team stop following the sport.

Most of the lower tier programs will complain. I like the model. Earn your way.

No. But a Champions League model would be perfect and would save the game. Let the big boys flex their muscle but still allow the little guys to participate and add to inventory.

I think it would only work within conferences, the SEC would have it's premier division with the top half of the conference and the relegated league for the bottom feeders. Swap out two per season. You play everyone in your "division" and leave room for two spots to play non-div teams to maintain existing rivalries that may not be in your division that year.

Basically, just like it works now but instead of East and West, it's top tier and bottom tier.

I support it. The relegation matches (and the lower league promotion matches) in English soccer are far more entertaining and bring out the passion of the fans much more than the Premier League title race. Great escapes are the best thing about European soccer.

The biggest issue is constant turnover.

There are some really good teams that come out of nowhere.
