Hi Paul, I'd like to talk about my Auburn Tigers
September 3, 2016: The Clemson Tigers make a big statement by thrashing Auburn 100-0 in their own stadium.
September 4, 2016: Gus Malzahn is fired, Kevin Steele is interim coach. We all prepare for an 0-12 season.
September 10, 2016: We beat Arkansas State 16-14 when they miss a chip shot as time expires.
September 17, 2016: Trevor Knight throws 5 picks in a 24-20 win for the Tigers.
September 24, 2016: Leonard Fournette rushes for 500 yards in an instant classic shootout, but a late fumble on the 1 yard line allows Auburn to escape with a 55-52 win.
September 25, 2016: Auburn receives votes in both the AP and the Coaches Poll
November 26, 2016: Auburn is 10-1, ranked 12th, Alabama is 11-0, unanimous 1st. On the back of a 7 TD performance by Jeremy Johnson, Auburn wins with a 65 yard field goal as time expires.
December 3, 2016: #7 Auburn thrashes #14 Tennessee in the SEC championship, 61-14
December 4, 2016: The playoff selections are announced, Auburn creeps in at #4.
December 11, 2016: Jeremy Johnson narrowly beats out Christian McCaffrey for the Heisman
December 31, 2016: Auburn beats Michigan with the controversial aid of 5 penalties called on Jim Harbaugh.
January 9, 2017: In a rematch against the undefeated Clemson Tigers, Auburn wins 85-84 in a similar fashion to Appalachian State's Miracle on the Mountain.

>>68777566
Alabama can be vulnerable this year if they can't find consistent qb play. I still see double digit wins but they won't be a juggernaut
>>68777652
Even with an orange traffic cone at quarterback, the talent gap between Alabama and Tennessee is massive.
Alabama doesn't have to be a juggernaut to curbstomp UT by 30.

I have edited my Realignment and Relegation Plan.
REALIGNMENT
As before, it was hard to maintain some rivalries (OU-Texas, Tenn-Bama,) and current conference similarity (MAC, SEC, Big 12). The idea is to have * conference of equal size with each conference having an upper and lower division. Max games possible has went from 19 to 15, as it is now, since that was a major issue people had in my first plan.
The regular season would remain at 12 games. Each team plays the other 7 teams in their division, 2 teams from the other division within their conference, and 3 OOC teams. Each team also gets 1 bye week. Games against the other division in the conference are chosen using “Random Number Generator” type system or some similar computer program that can sort that out.
RELEGATION
After the season the bottom upper division and top lower division teams in each conference swap division.
EXPANDED PLAYOFF
Conference championships games are eliminated and the champion is the top team in the upper division. The CFP is changed to 8 teams made up of the upper/lower division champions and starts two weeks after the final games. Both the Upper and the Lower divisions get a playoff. The top 2 in each upper/lower division move on to their respective CFP. Seeding is chosen by a committee like it is now. All games are held at a neutral site. Week 1 is 1v8, 2v7, 3v4, 5v6. Next 2 weeks are self-explanatory. The sites for these games would rotate between LA, San Fran, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, NOLA, Atlanta, and Miami yearly
Playoff Schedule
Week 1 - Round 1
Week 2 - Bye
Week 3 - Round 2
Week 4 - 3rd place game
Week 5 - National Championship (upper division) and lower division championship
Additionally, the post season would include 12 bowl games for those that didn’t make their respective playoff.
I think that is all. Can clear things up if something is worded bad or not explained

There is no way to fit all teams into geographical areas without overlapping or making really weird regions that intertwine. Plus this adds a consistent UGA-GT, Clemson-SCar, FSU-Miami-Florida, Louisville-Kentucky, etc. that wouldn't have to consistently take an OOC spot from each team
>>68794845
If FSU and Clemson are the only teams people think will win the ACC then UNC is the best darkhorse candidate, with Miami right behind them. Duke, Pitt, VT, and Louisville won't have competent enough rosters to win the ACC.

Shreveport to Ruston is the almost the same travel time as Denton to Dallas. Dallas is only 4 hours from here. I could easily make a trip there. Monroe is also only 30 minutes away.

It's good if you like the outdoors. I will admit it can be a very boring place though. And Centenary is absolute trash and in the ghetto of Shreveport.

As a Southern Miss fan, I can't imagine a world where USM cracks the top 25.
I sat there 3 years ago and watched them commit 7 turnovers to find a way to lose to Texas State. It was the worst football game of any team, high school, college, or pro, I've ever watched.
There's no way in hell that team is one of the 25 best in the country just 3 years later.

Why does Monroe smell so fucking awful?
I've roadtripped all over the eastern half of the US, been through Monroe 3 or 4 times.
It's the only place I've ever gone through that consistently smells disgusting. What the fuck is wrong with that place?

>he thinks the ones most successful over time are in rural areas
There's no way the new UNT coach is as bad as the last one. The 2001-04 teams proved success is possible. And Texas State is SO much worse, let's be real here.
>>68814234
Also Middle Tennessee.
>>68814234
>>68815449
Realistically, to crack the Top 25, a C-USA team would have to go undefeated deep into the season.
USM I'm not sure even gets by Kentucky in their opener, but they're definitely not getting by LSU. Zero chance.
Tech isn't getting by Arkansas in their opener. Okay, maybe they are, because Bielama loves to choke away the season in the first couple games. But I really struggle to see them winning at Arkansas AND that trip out to Lubbock. Very slim chance.
WKU is at Bama Week 2. Nope.
Marshall probably has the best chance of all of them, but I still can't see anyway Louisville chokes to them and then Pitt turns right around and chokes again the next week. Any coach that lets his team overlook someone who just sprung a major upset the week before should be fired on the spot. I can't see any way Narduzzi lets that happen.
Basically, it's not happening.
Southern Miss will win C-USA unfortunately. you heard it here first folks. No team will be ranked though.

There's always the /chance/.... whether you're Boise or Louisiana-Monroe, you have one super-hard FBS team and one or two cakewalks, then your conference schedule. Win a game against a team the committee/voters have heard of, you're in.
Boise could do it just by beating literally any P5 team in September, it's a combination schedule/rep (though yes, a CUSA team would have to wait until late October).

Why doesn't North Texas just end their football program. Nobody goes to North Texas for their athletics, and they are never going to be good. Quit wasting the students money on 2 win teams.
>>68816755
>Your team

The outgoing AD has picked four head coaches, the first was great, the second two know less about football than I do. The 4th starts in September.
>Your "giant(s)" you will have to face this year
Really only Florida, as in 2016, SMU is pretty much on our own level, and Army hasn't won anything since they beat Hitler.
We won't win that one (even if their own new coach stumbles, we lose by two touchdowns), but as for the rest.... anything better than 3 wins proves that the "experts" don't even bother to follow CUSA.
>>68819201
Not all FCS teams are equal, and Portland State had an outstanding year last year. That head coach is FBS bound in the next couple years, I'm sure.
Having said that, that game was not indicative of UNT's talent, only their head coach, who was the cheapest they could get on Craigslist. Seriously, he had a losing record at Iowa State, someone with no football experience thought that would translate to G5 success. Problem fixed.
>>68820452
That head coach got you your only winning season in 10 years. You should kiss the ground he walks on
are several G5 schools going to get dumped and have to go back to FCS now that conferences don't need 12 teams for a CCG anymore?
>>68820935
No.
Now that they're there, there's no point in kicking any schools out. It's not like having those extra teams hurts those conferences, except in the case of Idaho and NMSU where they were horrible geographic fits. The only conference where this might still be an issue is the AAC, but those schools are all established FBS stalwarts with decent fanbases and (relatively) deep pockets. If they get the bump from the AAC, they'll easily find a home in the Sun Belt or CUSA or something.

This is the problem with these previews, people look at literally only last season and ignore context. "Bama won the Natty last year, therefore they will automatically win it this year" (false), or, "Lol this CUSA team won 2 games last year, they'll do the same again this year."
Not if their coach got fired and they have an entirely new staff. There is actual infrastructure there and money being spent to improve the team, we're not a damn MAC school.
>>68820782
>only winning season in ten years

yeah, there's no reason to boot anyone, more schools=more money. If 12 was all anyone was going for, then no one would have more than 12.
Did somebody say MAC?
>>68820782
There's no proof Littrell will be a good head coahc but his offense at UNC last year was one of the best in the country. If he can find some athletes who slipped through the cracks (and this is Texas, I imagine he'll find plenty) then they should at least see a modicum of success.
>>68823850
THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
Success as a coordinator does not automatically translate to HBC success (sup Lane Kiffin), but last years head coach had the worst season in the history of North Texas (which has an overall winning record, despite the shit-talking ITT).
Even a modicum is better than 1-11. He's already cut all the quarterbacks and brought in his own staff. Even 5 wins next year would be a roaring success.
>>68822622

That's any sports bulletin board/comments section.

>>68825884
Of course the ACC sucks now. But the fact that it sucks now is in no way an argument for why it will suck in the future. Shit changes. The Cleveland Cavaliers used to suck really bad. Memphis used to be the worst program in FBS.
I can't say I share your optimism about CUSA though. I mean, it's not a graveyard or anything, but there's no programs right now that, at least to me, look like they'll do anymore than win CUSA because well, someone has to win CUSA.
But at least you're not the Sun Belt.

Will they?
Without the need for 12 teams, it's suddenly a lot less appealing.
Who's got the big market appeal in C-USA?
North Texas? Let's not pretend they've got any significant fanbase in DFW. Plus they already have SMU there.
LA Tech? Shreveport isn't any kind of significant TV market. Not in a conference with Houston, Dallas, Cincinnati, Hartford, Tampa, Orlando...
Maybe Southern Miss looks nice to them if they're really into accomplishments from 20 years ago?
>>68826211
There are fans in Denton, just none of them on THIS board. The last (and only) time UNT had a 1-win season was 1914 so let's not all go crazy here. We're not Eastern Michigan.

>now that deregulation happened, no one needs 1 teams.
False. The Big 12 management is fucking fucktarded, borderline Downs-kids. They do not know what they are doing.
A ten-team league has a round-robin tournament, which means every time has already played each other by December, and the Big 12 is expecting to get a late-season boost by either (a) their conference leader beating a team they already beat earlier in the season, which gains them nothing, OR (b), their conference leader losing to a team they already lost to in the regular season, which is even WORSE.
This is a conference run by mouth-breathers in cowboy hats, do not justify their fuckery.
>>68818465
I think they're returning enough offensive power to compete both games.
But it's early in the season and they're both good teams, too close to call though. Tons of teams walk out early in the year and suck ass.

Huntington, WV - 65
Norfolk, VA - 43
San Antonia, TX - 37
Miami, FL - 16
Charlotte, NC - 24
Birmingham, AL - 40
If some of the teams in these areas could get good in the next few years, and assuming the BIG12 goes to 12, the AAC will be calling CUSA
>>68826863
They don't care about any of that.
They just want the cash that comes with a conference title game.
The ACC put Florida State and Miami in separate divisions intentionally just so they'd have the chance to play twice in a year.
The B1G tried to do the same thing with Ohio State and Michigan.
It's not about winning, it's about making money.
