Truly, they need to break everyone into 9 team conferences. Winner goes* Archived Message Posted by KCWildcat on February 21, 2025, 20:26:49, in reply to "I think I kinda disagree. I want to keep the footprint of college football as wide as possible." Previous Message March Madness isn’t the best 68 teams either, I don’t mind forcing representation across conferences even if it means it’s not the best 16 teams. Just don’t give byes or preferred seeding to conference champs, base that on merit. They definitely need to get rid of conference title games if expanding further. The calendar is already too screwed up with the portal.
