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

Keep the hippy soccer crap out of it.

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

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

Why?
Take Auburn football-
2008 5-7
2009 7-5 regular season
2010 14-0 national champs
2011 7-5 regular season
2012 3-9
2013 12-2, 2nd loss coming with seconds left in the BCS title game.
There's a good chance Auburn is "relegated" to a lower level, for both the 2010 and 2013 seasons.
Different sport, but another example: SEC-Big 12 Challenge in college basketball.
Because the Big 12 had 10 teams and the SEC 14, teams DID get "relegated". 4 SEC teams would miss out, because they weren't good enough in prior seasons.
LSU Basketball-
2016-17, 10-21...
they miss the 2017-18 challenge.
2017-18, 18-15...
they miss the 2018-19 challenge.
2018-19 LSU wins the SEC title, going 28-7 overall, 16-2 in conference play. Beats both Kentucky and Tennessee, the two favorites, head-to-head, Kentucky on the road.
Let's say the SEC only keeps the top 10 teams, using the same formula they did for the Challenge. This means LSU is not even in the league that year, they've been relegated.
I'm sure there are plenty of other examples, but it's pretty clear it just won't work.

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.

Vols would certainly be division 2 by now if the sport was merit based like soccer.

Actually, it’s very anti communist. It rewards the successful teams and demoted the hanger ons. That why you see the Vandy, TexasTech, Ole Miss fans who don’t like it. If I were the commish, I would put 4 - 16 teams in the big boy conference. Every 2 years, The 4 teams with the worst records would lose their spot and move down a division. The 4 highest ranked lower division would move up. All big boys had to play 10 big boy games a year, allowing some cross over. If you didn’t play 10, you lose points and will likely find your way into the lower four. I’m tired of giving away money to those that don’t earn it.

Forgiveness over judgement. God sees all the bad shite you do too. So get off your cross because the world needs that wood for better things right now, Goddamnit!

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.

Then UGA would be relighted to intramural sports only. 1 football title in 40 years and generally suck at all other sports.

You only get relegated when you suck arse in Soccer.
Applied to CFB, this means the Vols FB program would be in trouble, while UGA would remain in the upper echelon of the top flight.

The biggest issue is constant turnover.
There are some really good teams that come out of nowhere.
