Over the past year or so, NCAA football has gotton sidetracked by the new thing in town: conference realignment. If you dont know what it
means, it is...... Conference Realignment; noun. term used in early 2010's to describe what screwed up the excitment of college football
by causing regional conference havoc. Also, see: Longhorn Network so you get what I mean. College football [and other sports for that
sake] is now a crazy business that everyone is trying to make super-conferences and make $, when at the end, TV networks cause teams to
be disabled to move to another conference, and causing commissioners to be out the door. Its just not right. So give me your input on
conference realignment , and tell me what you think should be done with all the TV networks [aka Longhorn Network] and tell em how you
would group conferences. Oh ya, keep em REGIONAL. Tell your opinions about this.... Oh ya, are you in favor of BCS or playoff format?

Oh ya, you may want to look at this:

I was actually thinking about responding, Bot then you fucked up and sited the bleacher report as an info source.

But will give some input on your thread:

This fucking thread is stupid.

Welcome to the basement douche bag.

The less conferences there are the easier it will be to institute a playoff. If there's only 4 conferences, then it would be easy to implement a 4 team playoff. It also would likely end any chance of the SEC team ever winning another one since the championship game could be played at professional venues not located in the South every year.

4 conferences just isn't enough.

Why are you so emotional about realignment?

If it brings a playoff, I am all for it.

I like the four conference idea because that would mean a mini-playoff for one spot while the SEC would rightfully receive its three autobids for the other slots.

In this format, there's no SEC. All new Conferences.

No. The SEC can survive on its own. The Bee One Gee can survive on its own. The Pac 12 can survive on its own. If any of those conferences choose to expand, so be it. Otherwise, the other 82 current FBS schools can either fit themselves into one conference somehow or drop to the FCS.

The playoffs would be set up like this:
SEC #1 vs. Weak Sister Bracket Winner (B1G, PAC, Remnant)
SEC #2 vs. SEC #3

Winners play in title game

Fans of traditional elite programs have no problem with conference alignment IMO. Either way they have their golden ticket and their teams will not be affected. The people who should be most concerned about it all are people who are alums/fans of teams of teams that are bottom feeders in the "Big 5" conferences and schools in the Big East, MWC, C-USA, MAC, etc.

There are two possible scenarios. If you are a bottom feeding school in say the PAC12, you have no chance in hades ever competing if you conference includes not only the traditional powers that are already there along with 2-4 additional schools like a Texas or Oklahoma. The best a school ike Washington State could ever do is sit back and collect your TV welfare check and hope once every five years or so you have a decedent team.

In the scenario involving the Big East, MWC or C-USA schools you are even at greater risk. A lot of those schools have put signficant money into their program this past decade with the facade of moving up, only with the possibility of it all crumbling right before your eyes in the next year or two.

The point of this is to say what you hate bout conference realignment and input your voice on how you would group NEW 8 or 9 regional conferences and make a playoff format haha. I hate the Longhorn Network.

I still don't see a need for a playoff.

I still don't see the need to have certainty on who is number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

You mean the same reason Big Red plays 8 home games per year and not enough OVAC games to win the title while still using them for the other sports?

This would be a great year for a playoff, as I previously outlined.
