Make ACC a feeder/ minor conference to SEC
Use Euro Soccer as a model
Top Two teams from ACC each year get bumped up to SEC each year
Bottom Two teams (Arkansas & Vandy ) are regulated to ACC

Does he even watch soccer? Besides, even American soccer doesn’t have promotion/relegation. Until that happens, why would anyone think that would be a good idea for college football. Not that it would happen even then.
Doesn’t happen in ANY sport in America of which I can think.

The best solution is merging with the big ten and adding all the acc/big 12/g5 that look like everyone else. Seperate from the rest of college football(about 60 teams) have rules everyone must follow or get kicked out, collective bargain tv rights, kill transfer portal, five years eligibility, only play other division members. Schools make more money, schedules become way more even, fans get better more regional games.

I'm all for this. And in the divisions, we can have one that represents the Southeastern region, one for the Midwest, one for the Pacific Coast, and one for the Atlantic Coast. Then we use computer models/metrics to determine the best teams.

It was a sarcastic post about ACC, where news today is Fla St Miami Clemson & NC are against new Save College FB Act because feel too strict if they want to bail to other conferences, which I believe SEC isn’t interested in
Personally like SEC like it is & reminded there are many other sports that Razorbacks & VANDY are top level

Not a novel suggestion on here, and it remains a nonstarter.

- it would be an absolute scheduling nightmare even if the idea could be sold, which it can't
- as the idea cannot be sold, it would have to be forced and there is no effective function to force that. The ACC is not jumping up and down with hand in the air to volunteer to be the B-league for the SEC. Who would feed the other P4? A more plausible solution (though still hugely problematic) would be G6 have their own Div of ball with promotion and relegation alignments established with P4 conferences
- loads of other reasons, but the system doesn't align well with established structure and cultures or the constraints of a CFB season and schedule compared to that of soccer

The root issue remains there are simply too many teams in the highest level of football, and we still manage to schedule FCS schools because the season is too long and hard on players as it is. A regionally aligned 64-68 team league and 8 team playoff would be ideal. But, that won't happen either.
