This will never happen but it’s a fun idea to play with.
Here’s a plan that should produce a season of good football games and an undisputed National Champion.
Split the FBS (128 teams) into 2 Divisions – Majors and Mid-Majors (64 teams each)
Each Division has 4 conferences of 16 teams
Divide the conferences into 8 team divisions.
Each team plays 1 inter-conference game – first game of the season.
Each team plays 3 crossover games – next 3 games — don’t count in conference championship determination. This replaces OOC cupcake games.
The 8 Division teams play each other to determine Div. Champ.
Div. Ch. Play for the Conference Championship (12th game)
Bye week for teams playing on Thursday night and their next opp has bye week also.
Season starts 1st Sat. in Sept. and completes last Sat. in Nov.
Major Conference Champions play Semis 2nd Saturday in Dec and Finals 4th or 5th Saturday depending on how Christmas falls. (14, 15)
Mid-Majors play 1st and 3rd Saturdays in Dec.
Scheduling is the easy part. Getting conference affiliations that satisfy everybody is next to impossible.
