It's already happening organically to a certain degree with players in the portal. You're seeing all americans from smaller conferences transfer to teams in better conferences.

Last year we would've seen Texas A&M and Vandy get relegated down to let's say the Big 12 and TCU and Kansas St. promoted to the SEC.

Player turnover in cfb is too fast and loose for this system to make sense. I would have agreed with you 5 years ago.

I agree, around 60 teams in a 5 or 6 power conference. Relegate one team from each conference every year.

I'm for the promotion/relegation in the conference that's reset every 4 years. Perms would be 1-4, 5-8 etc, then rotate the rest of the teams on the 3-6 system.

If we're going to keep including programs and (AAC-type) conferences that have no realistic shot at winning this thing, I'd be down for it too.

Seems like a fun way to weed out the lesser teams as opposed to just shoehorning them in and pretending.

Also might be pretty cool for some of these smaller programs to have an opportunity to win their league, against similar competition.

Please tell me how this would work.

It would be a bigger shite show on what it is already.

College football is 10x more regional than the NFL or some soccer European model can understand. That’d never work unless scholarships became guaranteed .

I don't even bother learning the names of players anymore. I know our QBs name but he has been there 4 years. Someone told me that one of our receives transferred to Georgia and said "who"?
