No divisions

Worked out well for the ACC at 15 teams

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 11:07am

They have separate divisions for football

Indy Coug

1/18/22 11:08am

Not when they had 15 teams

You mean the bizarro COVID season? You throw the anomaly out

In fairness, it also worked for them having teams play different # of conference games, don't think that's good longterm

Disparity will always happen when you don't play everyone. It doesn't cause a

Did the NCAA change the rules, or was that just for the Covid season

Nat Gas Man

The AAC did it this year again

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 11:23am

...except the ACC definitely had divisions this year

krindorr

1/18/22 11:27am

I never said the ACC didnt have divisions this year

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 11:28am

Sorry, misread. But NCAA rules are divisions for conferences with 12+ teams. AAC only has 11 since UConn left

krindorr

1/18/22 11:34am

The rules also said it had to be round robin

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 11:36am

Yea seems like the AAC straight up ignored the NCAA by-laws

Got a waiver, in the past decade conferences have got what they wanted

Option 4 is clearly the best option for everyone and the best for the league

YIsForBrigham

1/18/22 11:05am

4 makes the most sense to me. In a conference that is so spread out

Except, in a conference that is so spread out, it's important to keep rivals

Doogal McCougar

Option 4 the best but Iowa State won't like it

I prefer 69

And then moving Oklahoma St to the 6 when Texas/Oklahoma leave?

I like the idea of 4 3-team pods. Each season, you play all teams in your pod, then rotate two other pods each season.

durandal

1/18/22 11:11am

So taking a shot at the execution of this and expanding it

krindorr

1/18/22 11:26am

Interesting idea, though I think I'd prefer an 8-game conference schedule so we can have 4 OOC games.

durandal

1/18/22 11:29am

Conferences seem to prefer 9 conference games for more inventory, gets a bigger TV deal

krindorr

1/18/22 11:37am

Seemed to be tied to inventory for their conference network

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 11:39am

I wouldn't be too surprised to see 10 conference games with new contracts after

Nat Gas Man

I'd love a 6 conf game schedule for more interesting OOC matchups.

Mitty

Love your 9th game idea

BingoNY

1/18/22 12:02pm

Here's the other cool thing about this setup - you play everywhere pretty frequently

krindorr

1/18/22 12:30pm

Switch TCU and Ok State?

Zoobieman

1/18/22 2:25pm

Wouldn't swap Oklahoma St and TCU for a few reasons

krindorr

1/18/22 3:01pm

Love it, I would only change the rotation to every two years.

Zoobieman

Agreed - those last few weeks would generate a TON of excitement (and just as importantly) viewers

krindorr

1/18/22 3:09pm

Any of the pod proposals are SO much better than the division idea.

Mitty

1/18/22 3:42pm

Send this to Holmoe so he can bring it up in meetings

ColonelMustard

If the goal is for BYU to play in conference championship games option 2 is best

Perseguir

4 for me. Hope we never see 4B.

As the poll suggests, if you have to do divisions, Opt4 is clearly and obviously
