Could there be a relegation? It seems like it would keep everything more interesting.
With there being 14 teams in most of the P5, they could drop the lowest two performing teams each year into a relegation league. Then bring up the two highest ranked G5 into the relegation league.
That would leave each league with 12 teams. Swap them out each year to keep it refreshing. Every team would play a 9 game conference schedule. With 3 open games for rivals. You could have an 8 team play off, with the 6 leagues sending their conference champion and the next two highest ranked.
I know this would never work because of shared revenues, tv contracts, and the Big12 having 6 teams.
What are some other pros and cons to this? It’s officially off season/baseball.

The con is that schools like Vanderbilt, Kansas, Rutgers, Boston College, etc will never ever go for it because they don't want to get relegated to the Sun Belt/Mac/Mountain West.
The pro is that it would add major interest to games that are currently in the 12 PM SECN slot as the teams in the bottom of the league slug it out to stay in the SEC.

That’s why it isn’t permanent. It is always the two worst performing teams from the main league, and the relegation teams rotate back each year.

Thats true, but at least in Kansas' and Rutgers' cases, if they get relegated, they won't be coming back for years.

Go from this
To this and call it a day.
I basically keeps divisions the way they are now except for the breakup of the big12. However, WVU had no business there so they go to ACC north or Atlantic North.
Texas and OU stay together by moving to SEC while the nonfits of aggy and mizz go to their more desired regions/lifestyles and aggy gets a HUGE bonus since they get to keep avoiding texas.
To do this, you have to get rid of 65th team Rutgers. I’m fine with that.
so it would look like this
Rose.......Oregon Vs Wisconson
Cotton.....USC Vs LSU
then Fiesta takes winner
LSU vs Oregon
Peach......Clemson Vs Georgia
Orange.....Notre Dame Vs OSU
then Sugar takes winner
OSU Vs Georgia
Sugar/Fiesta winners battle it out in Shreveport

It’s basically like relegation now. There are only 6-8 teams with the resources, recruits, and rosters to get to the playoff. The rest are 2nd-tier P5 who compete for NY6 bowl and then there’s the G5 who compete for a bowl game spot. 3-tiered already.

you could certainly get a crack at Kansas with that set up. I wanted to include Illinois in that west conference but it didn't work out.

Nah they will come back, but they will be leaving every other year.

HOW are you "dropping 2 & bringing up 2" & have 12 teams in the SEC?
Posted on 4/1/21 at 5:06 pm to TeddyWestside
Con - HOW do you schedule return conf. games with teams that went up/dropped down the previous year?

WHY THE F would you swap TA&M with Texas?

More TV sets.
That’s what aggy and Mizz claimed made them welcome to the conference.
Plus you get to keep Texas and ou in the same league. That makes sense while aggy needs to find a rival that cares about them.
But here....is that better?

Sorry, but chalk me up in the group for "no Texas (Longhorns) in the SEC".
Posted on 4/1/21 at 6:49 pm to southernboisb
will do.
actually, chalk me up to the "go back to original 10 or 12 team leagues.
ACC
Big East
Big 10
SEC
Pac10
Big12

Well there are 14 teams, when 2 drop down that’s 12. The next year they come back that’s 14. And 2 more leave... that’s 12.

I’m having trouble with your last two responses.
Are you responding and dissing yourself or did you forget to log off you other account?

I read that as dropping 2 from ALL P5 combined...not as making each conference 12 teams.
Posted on 4/2/21 at 6:35 am to dstone12
I can see that. BUT, smaller conference size = MORE conferences.
So...which is the better option?
