How do you feel any time you see VT's regular season schedule include a

FCS opponent? How do you think most fans feel when their team is playing a FCS opponent? I'm suggesting that's the mentality most fans will develop if each group has its own MNC. The subgroups may even pass bylaws limiting how many games a team can play from the group below them similar to how FBS teams limit the number of FCS opponents to 1 or 2 per season. Then there is the money aspect of it. Will the other 2 groups make as much (or more) money than they are now in the current system? If not, then I doubt you will see the 2 groups agree to leave the CFP Administration, LLC to form their own association. If your solution is to allow the CFP Administration, LLC to award multiple national championships, then that means gaining enough support from the DII and DIII representatives to amend the overall bylaws so a sport can award multiple national championships in a single division level or in this case subdivision level.

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
CMU Hokie • 12/14/25 09:08 PM ET
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. **
40ozDistrict • 12/14/25 07:59 PM ET
Getting the Pac 10 back would be a nice start**
crazylane • 12/14/25 09:24 PM ET
Bring Back Big TEN, Pac-10, SEC (10), SWC, Big 8, Smaller ACC-9, Big East
Maroon Baboon • 12/15/25 01:38 AM ET
Split it up that way the first year, but then throw in promotion/relegation
North Main Hokie • 12/14/25 04:44 PM ET
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

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. **
