The Arkansas Razorbacks have won 10 bowl games in a row
Lol… UCF just beat UF on the field if memory serves correct…. Def the best team in FL atm.
THE FULL PICTURE IS IN! -August 11, 2022
ND TO STAY INDEPENDENT;
MIAMI IS IN, JOINING THE SEC!
(They're going to 25)
THE NEW FULL MEMO ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL REALIGNMENT…
Please remember, as Commissioner Warren said, these things are planned well in advance…
To the B1G (FOX): Pitt, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona and Colorado for 25 (all here mentioned are AAU schools).
To the SEC (ESPN): NC(aau), Duke(aau), UVA(aau), Clemson, Florida St., West Virginia, Georgia Tech(aau), Miami and Virginia Tech for 25.
Notre Dame (NBC) (and BYU?) will stay independent with playoff access.
NOTE: Divisions are only for the purpose of assuring regional play and reducing travel, and could be annually flexible by school requests. The teams with the top 4 conference records will go to the conference semifinals in early December regardless of their divisions, and the conference championships are to be played on New Year's Day (B1G/Rose, SEC/Sugar, Third25/Cotton).
B1G25 Southern Pacific division
Cal
USC
UCLA
Arizona
Utah
B1G25 Northern Pacific division
Colorado
Nebraska
Stanford
Oregon
Washington
B1G25 Great Plains division
Minnesota
Iowa
Kansas
Wisconsin
Illinois
B1G25 Great Lakes division
Indiana
Purdue
Northwestern
Michigan
Michigan State
B1G25 Union division
Rutgers
Maryland
Penn State
Pitt
Ohio State
Meet the SEC25:
Knowing that Pitt is going B1G, and 8 more ACC schools are going to the SEC, that's more than enough schools needed to break the ACC contract.
Given the continuing regional continuity of the SEC, divisions will be even less significant than in the B1G. Maintaining certain rivalries and neighborly games will be more a matter of game "reservation" than divisional assignments. Again, the 4 best conference records of the SEC to play in semifinals in early December.
Texas
Oklahoma
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Kentucky
Missouri
LSU
Miss State
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Florida St.
Georgia
Georgia Tech
South Carolina
Clemson
North Carolina
Duke
UVA
Virginia Tech
West Virginia
Miami
The rest to comprise TheThird25 conference with access relegation to playoff eligible divisions (similar to Euro soccer leagues) with guaranteed football playoff slots for their top teams every year. (Realignment for non football sports in this third conference, as membership could include 40 or so schools, with likely only 25 members of which will start the football season with access to the national playoff, more permanent regional sub conferences will be needed, and allowing these regional divisions to develop organically is expected to be one of the final components, and possibly most time consuming, such that the networks/B1G/SEC intend to allow the third conference a couple years of organization before defining a final playoff structure.)
This third conference is going to be full of badass non AAU schools from coast to coast, will have playoff access, and likely compete well for national titles moving forward.
And now be introduced to TheThird25 Conference:
TheThird25 (Apple/Amazon/Innovative Media Delivery, -and maybe CBS)
(Assuming BYU stays independent)
1) Oklahoma St.
2) Washington St.
3) TCU
4) Arizona St.
5) Kansas St.
6) Baylor
7) Boise St.
8) San Diego St.
9) NC St.
10) Tulane (AAU school)
11) Rice (AAU school)
12) UCF(disney/espn)
13) Louisville
14) Cincinnati
15) Houston
16) Boston College
To finish TheThird25:
Utah State
Syracuse
Hawaii
Oregon State
Fresno State
Iowa State
Texas Tech
SMU
Memphis and/or Southern Miss or Wake Forrest or Colorado State or Tulsa or Wyoming or New Mexico or UConn or Nevada or UTEP or Army or Navy or Air Force… etc. Relegation clearly required.
The Eligible76 (77 – BYU?)
So that makes 76 teams with playoff access each year: B1G25, SEC25, TheThird25 (with relegation beyond 25), and independent Notre Dame (and BYU?)
B1G/SEC to play 9 of 11 regular season games in conference (4 division, 1 each in the other 4 divisions, plus 1 reserved/rivalry game =9), and 2 non conference games (1 allowed to be an opponent beyond the eligible76).
How can this happen?
Quite simply. -and in the end likely a value booster for all schools through the 3 mega conferences…
Except for the 32 currrent legacy members of the B1G/SEC, revenue sharing as we've known it is finished. The rest will be taken on and paid in accord with their relative fanbase/marketshare and other values brought to the table.
And they're selling this beautifully…. This has to be the single best dudes' soap opera to run the sportswire in some time. This is intentional.
It's a done deal, but milking the interest is just the first part of this brilliant college football marketing campaign. -or, blame capitalism. ✌🤠✌
Look for something called the "Independent Invitational" game to be played in early December alongside the conference semifinals, and to be managed by The Playoff Commission, playing Notre Dame (and/or BYU?) and possibly service academies against a team hoping to make a playoff or better bowl claim, or any other 2 teams the Commission may deem appropriate in a given year in order to help clarify and minimize their playoff selections upcoming after the bowls. (It has been proposed that any Division 1 school relegated beyond the eligible76 could achieve instant transcendence with an undefeated (11-0) season
w/10 D1 winsand a likely invitation to the Independent Invitational prior to major bowl selection.)The bowls will play out during the holidays and could have playoff selection implications depending on the year.
PLAYOFF FLEXIBILITY IS THE KEY
(setting an arbitray number of playoff slots before the season plays out is a failed model):
The concept of yearly playoff flexibility should be incorporated. Every year is different; setting an arbitrary number of playoff slots before the season plays out inevitably rubs against fairness for the next team left out.
After the 3 Conference championships on New Year's Day (yielding 3 guaranteed advanced playoff births) the Playoff Commission should call no less than 4 teams, but up to 16, or any (even odd) number in between, such that no eligible undefeated team is left out (an "objective, measurable, clear and articulable delineation between the last team to qualify, and all remaining eligible teams…"), and playing such few games as necessary to answer but one question:
Who is number 1?
Miami fans still stuck in the 80s lol
Brady, just admit that you think the blue-bloods are the best teams in each state. Click bait title doesn't hide your rose colored glasses.
UCF has been the best team in Florida for a while now and you know it prove me wrong.
…because Florida sucks.
⚔️ 🛡 😉
lmao these cats are funny. Oklahoma is the best team, hands down, they got a super talented qb in dillion gabriel whos coming in from UCF.
15 seconds later…
yeah ucf is not the best team in florida, even though they just beat UF, who was the best team in FL. like wtf, you just propped up oklahoma for having a ucf qb, but shat on ucf for winning and being ucf. the bias is so blatant here its appalling. The battle for the stat was decided in the bowl game last year. ucf won. until they are no longer the best team in the state, they are the best team in the state.
2021 results….
UM Loses to FSU (mind you FSU is F'in terrible). FSU loses to UF.
FIU loses to FAU, FAU loses to UF.
USF loses to UCF
UF loses to UCF = UCF best team in FL.
Stay salty FL, stay salty.
♥️𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆❤️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine empru.ONLINE Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfairw, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
UCF will never be #1 Florida as a FSU fan give it to The 🐊 Miami even but not UCF cmon nie Fire Norvell this is embarrassing
UCF in Florida 🤣
