Your Ideal Individual Season Structure
« on: November 16, 2025, 10:55:39 PM »
What year was perfect in terms of conferences/independents/affliation???
Regardless of how your team did, if the structure of college football had to be frozen and remain the same forever, what season would you picK?

Mine is in the early 90s, but it's tough, because my idea structure never actually existed. 
Ideally, I'd prefer the old SWC, old 10-team SEC, but with FSU in the ACC and ND and Penn State as the major independents.  Miami in the Big East (they didn't play a full conf schedule until 1993, I believe).

All that being said, I guess I'd pick 1992.  SWC still exists, FSU in the ACC, Penn St still independent...but with the expanded SEC.

I liked adding Nebraska too. that was it for me as far as conference expansion. an even 12 with another helmet that fit the regional landscape of the conference. it all went to shit when they did a tv cash grab to add Buttgers and Maryland. it's been all down hill since then.

yup, 12-team conferences with divisions wasn't bad
at least played 5 regional teams each season

11 schools with 10 conference games would be the way to go.

Even growing up I wondered why ND/PSU weren't in the BIG.Turns out the Irish did want to join at one time but the conference voted them down. Ever since ND has ignored any offers from the BIG.But NJ and Maryland are recruiting hotbeds so they have that going for them

or 10 schools with 9 conference games

whatever, just play everyone in your conference every season

7 conferences with 11 = 77 or 8 conferences with 10 = 80

10 conference games. 3 OOC games (CCG not needed so all teams play 13).

Perfection.
