Yeah, sorry but half of the B1G is south so maybe the Southern Division would come into play, and they'd make new college teams in the south? Now that I think about it a less directional name is likely. Idrk just a random af thought I hadIs los Angeles South? Lol. If not, then the bigten has more schools in it and would have more 'northern' schools
I'm.sure a less 'directional name' would be better served.
I have been a fan of years of moving the American, Conf USA, Sunbelt, MWC, MAC, etc. down to FCS level. Pac12 is debatable right now (IMO, they should be ineligible for the auto-bye in CFB Playoff - Looking at Boise State).
Just have the 4 leagues ACC, B1G, SEC, and Big12. Force Notre Dame to join one of them or move to FCS.
True, Notre Dame would probably join the Big 12, what do you think?
Really though- Why is Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma here when they're southwestern? Also, B1G makes more sense because Notre Dame is in Indiana, so it COULD be ACC but, in my opinion, not close enough to the coast for it to be in the ACC. In CFB25 (It doesn't really matter, but here it goes) I ALWAYS put them in the Big 12 OR B1GACC or B1G are the best fits for Notre Dame.
I really want these leagues to join and then become more regional again as well. However, since they are the same league, they can setup more meaningful cross-division matchups so you will see games like Alabama playing at Ohio State or Clemson playing at Tennessee.

I hate the bigger conferences. It makes it harder for each team to get traction. The SEC has 4-5 teams that would best most the playoff teams, but they can’t get out of the conference dogfight. It’s a ‘’paper covers rock, rock breaks scissors, scissors cuts paper” world.” People say the SEC is down this year. Maybe. I think it is up, with more good teams who cannibalize each other. Big conferences mean that some good teams will sit home while lesser teams go to the playoffs.
Spit balling here
A good acronym is a must
College Football League - there's already a CFL so that's out
College Football Association sounds good, but that's been used before
College Football Federation sounds lofty and CFF sounds good
Could be modeled with two leagues and geographical divisions like the old NFL/AFL
Sankey looked and sounded lost to the nth degree after the SEC title game Saturday. It was sad. Never could pinpoint if Kirby was actually taking pot shots at him either.Agree. Texas at least has connections with the South. Issue is that the Big12 was full of mediocre programs. Only Kansas (mostly due to Basketball), Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Oklahoma had any type of following from a fanbase support. The rest of the teams were a bunch of Miss State/Vandy level programs. Once Nebraska, Colorado, and Missouri jumped shipped, the league just didn't have any traction and really still doesn't. There are decent programs in it like West Virginia, BYU, Kansas, Oklahoma State, and the Arizonas but nothing elite. You have a bunch of Texas Private Schools that struggle to event get 50k fans at their games (basically Texas versions of Memphis, MTSU, and Vandy).
The only real program that still seems out of whack in the SEC is Missouri. They still seem like an odd setup. Oklahoma only fits because of the Texas connections but the Texas teams were in the original SIAA and were with the South if you go far enough back in history. They have also played a lot of SEC programs historically and have a natural rivalry with Arkansas (and to a degree LSU). LSU playing Oklahoma this year instead of Texas was kind of an oddity in scheduling.
I do think Sankey did not do a good job of onboarding OU and Texas like Slive did with Missouri and Texas A&M. The scheduling was unbalanced. Literally just switching one matchup would have made it better like having UK or Vandy with Oklahoma and having LSU with Texas.
Also, Texas opening up with Miss State was a dude of a start to the SEC. Slive had both Missouri and Texas A&M open up with a premier matchup.
Sankey has also let the playoff committee mess him over with these auto-bids. B1G has 4 bids with 2 teams hosting home games and the other getting a bye while the SEC only has 3 bids with 1 team hosting and 1 team getting a bye despite the fact that most people would consider the SEC to be stronger than the B1G in 2024. Not a good look for the SEC or Sankey.

Ohio is south? Indiana and Ohio are the most southern states in the conference and both squarely above the mason/DixonYeah, sorry but half of the B1G is south so maybe the Southern Division would come into play, and they'd make new college teams in the south?

That's a nice darn spitball there (for UT Hill Man). Didn't the USFL already exist though?I'd go with "USFL."
'Cuz that it what is essentially happening.
These conferences would just be creating a second professional football league; this one will be successful because there is no marketing to build a fan base necessary; this league comes comes with millions of fans loyal to the brand already.
Civil War 2.0, with the most money as a prize.I think it'd be called the SCAA (Southern College Athletics Association), because most teams in these two conferences are down south (not southeastern, just south) ... your thoughts? Please don't hate on me for making another thread, it's only my second![]()
I'm tired of the Big 10 getting partnered next to the SEC. Yet, every bowl season their teams lose. I will laugh histerically once SMU beats Penn State and we roll past Ohio State. Its predictable. Their teams are always overrated.
