Split it up that way the first year, but then throw in promotion/relegation

Then those lower tier championships would actually mean something. Otherwise, in your proposal, they would feel like the NIT and CBI. I know, it’ll never happen, but it would be perfect for college football.

For discussion, how would you feel about a separate playoff group?

Thanks everyone for the replies. It’s interesting to see the views
HokieAl • 12/14/25 09:14 PM ET
I'm only interested in the top tier of college football
VT_Skier • 12/14/25 08:21 PM ET
I'm only willing to accept tiers if there is relegation and promotion
Maroon Baboon • 12/14/25 08:34 PM ET
That sounds good but would likely end with the same group of

Relegation and promotion by definition would change some of the teams
Maroon Baboon • 12/14/25 11:05 PM ET
Tend to agree if I’m understanding
VT757to276 • 12/14/25 08:32 PM ET
Nah, realign to 12 regional conferences, take the champs and 4 at large. **

Getting the Pac 10 back would be a nice start**

Bring Back Big TEN, Pac-10, SEC (10), SWC, Big 8, Smaller ACC-9, Big East

How about just conf champs and leave it at that **
CrystalCoveHokie • 12/14/25 03:30 PM ET
So, a 2-10 team could make the playoffs in the ACC, B12,PAC group.

An easy adjustment could prevent any fringe cases
HokieAl • 12/14/25 03:27 PM ET
At that point why would the P2 need to schedule any regular season games
VTHokie2000 • 12/14/25 12:43 PM ET
Because regular season allows for playing different confs for fans/tv

How do you feel any time you see VT's regular season schedule include a
VTHokie2000 • 12/14/25 01:55 PM ET
Two responses
HokieAl • 12/14/25 03:37 PM ET
WRT #1 you are creating a new "class" of "FCS" though.
VTHokie2000 • 12/14/25 04:28 PM ET
That almost already exists. The P2 have no care about anyone else
HokieAl • 12/14/25 06:14 PM ET
I don't disagree what you said about the P2 and I do think they will
VTHokie2000 • 12/14/25 06:29 PM ET
And bowl games would become playoff games
HokieAl • 12/14/25 12:25 PM ET
I much prefer playoff games be played at home field of higher seed.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/14/25 03:11 PM ET
Curious about why. That has only been the case for one year in CFB. **
