That almost already exists. The P2 have no care about anyone else

Every other conference and school is already an afterthought for them and easily brushed aside for playoffs or tournaments (with the help of the media, especially ESPN). I hear you on the concerns and the history. At the same time, the P2 has already been very active to separate themselves from all the other conferences. And the ACC , B12, PAC money gap and media exposure gap is very significant compared to the G5 conferences. The tiers already exist. I’m just looking at how we can generate new value from those tiers and benefit the non-P2.

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**
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
HokieAl • 12/14/25 12:52 PM ET
How do you feel any time you see VT's regular season schedule include a

WRT #1 you are creating a new "class" of "FCS" though.

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. **
