So who are the 6 that make the cut at 40

Assuming the SEC and B1G don't boot anyone. VT better hope 48 is the number. In my perfect world, 64 would be the number with eight 8 school divisions based on regions and historical rivalries. Play 7 division games. Schedule one G5 or below-the-cut-line P4 school in the first 3 weeks. Have three out of division games. Playoffs: Have 3rd place division vs. 2nd place division for a "wildcard game" at Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Vegas, Indy, KC, LA, DC the same weekend as typical conference championship games. Take a bye week (Army vs. Navy, new G5 playoffs?) then reseed the bracket for home hosts 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc.

J Pearson in the SOS interview, it's either going to be 40 or 48 in P2

P2 really just means money. I think there is a viable alternative

I like the idea, but I'm not sure you could get the media dollars

Gonna suck for team 41 (or 49). Relegation and promotion will solve this.

I understand that, and maybe the current playoff

It is worth noting the owners of the BCA (minus Big Ten and Pac-10) and BCS

The NCAA may not need to use that much resource to oversee the new division

That last sentence is key. The new P2 or whatever you call it, will

They may have the guts, but it doesn't mean the networks will be willing to

That's a double edged sword. I'm not convinced

They may not have a choice if things play out certain ways.**
VTHokie2000 • 11/26/25 01:01 PM ET
48 is a good number. But in reality it should be 64. Just get the lawsuit's

I'd like to see 60. Preserve most rivals and historical programs. **

Wherever the line is drawn, it's going to be a problem.

I'm more interested to see which schools decide to be on the Thanks, But No
