Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

yup, this is what folks that want rotating schedules in 18-team conferences don't understand

killing of rivalries

realignment has killed some great ones....RIP Nebraska-OU.

Pitt-WVU has no business being on any list....sorry.

UGA-UF should be #3....why is that behind UGA-Auburn? Da fk?

BAMA-Tenn was a really good rivalry until Tennessee went into the freaking tank and sucked ass for eons. Maybe it's coming back?

yes, when you limit the annual opponents to 3 or maybe 4 protected rivalries, when one or two go lopsided for a decade it's not a rivalry any longer.

Yeah I've never really thought of MSU-ND as a rivalry although they're met 79 times.

UM-ND seems like more of one, but they've only played something like 43 times.  And it seems like most of the really good rivalries formed much of their lore during the "Golden Era" of college football in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, but Michigan and ND only played 4 times in those entire 4 decades

M-ND have a weird ass relationship/history. Lots of pettiness and bad blood there on both sides. They are natural born rivals though- just makes so much sense for them to play each other every year- yet they don't. There were some great M-ND games in the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 2010s. Even in the 2000 and 2010s when one team was bad or they were both bad- the games were usually very good. 

I do wish they'd play every year. Even though I hate them. Not gonna lie. It's two of the biggest brands in the sport- and it's good for the sport when they play each other. 

Maybe ND will someday join the Big 100.

I say take ND and one of Miami/UNC/FSU/Clem, call it the B1G20 and put a bow on it call it a day

I think they are going to 24.

So, Stanford, ND, Miami, FSU, UNC and UVA.

4 6 team divisions, one divisional championship game and a final.

Then the MNC game against the SEC24 winner.

I'd be cool with that. think it's stupid af that we have like 197 FBS teams as it is....there's no need for that.

48 teams in two super conferences with a playoff sounds about right....

I don't know about "right" but we are where we are and we ain't going back. 

I wish for 6 conferences of 10 schools each. Not gonna happen, even though it would be right.

Is it possible to form a "football association" or independents?  Not exactly a conference, but they'd play each other annually.  TV monies would not be split.
