QUALIFICATION
1. 8+ wins overall
2. over .500 in conference play
3. Each conference gets one representitive with under 8 wins to play a bowl game, plus the next top 4 p5 teams that have under 8 wins and arent a top "wild card".
also, fcs wins dont count
6-6 will no longer cut it. this system does the following:
1. eliminates mediocrity being rewarded
2. places added importance onto each and every game (Need more wins)
3. eliminates crap games between fbs powers and fcs unknowns
4. Qualification number 3 adds significance to conference games late in the year between non-conference title contenders. It also makes strength of schedule more important to mere bowl teams looking for a wild card berth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYOFFS/BOWLS
Expand playoff field to 8 teams. This makes sure every elite team hs a chance.
PLAYOFF/BOWL Ranking system: 11 wins in the MAC = 8 wins in the SEC. This is how matchups will be determined. Exhaust all top level g5 teams (Say teams with 10+ wins). These teams will go up against p5 teams based on the ratio system. All g5 teams that aren't top-knotch can only face other g5 teams.

Good points but FCS vs FBS will never go away, it's all about the money. |
|
|
This system also eliminates crap games between g5 and p5 teams because:
1. Strength of schedule determines fate of wild card bowl teams
2. G5 teams that need 8 wins can't afford to schedule Alabama |

What you don't understand is that some of these FBS vs FCS games help keep FCS teams alive with the money they get from it.
Austin Peay a couple years back played 2 FBS teams and got 1 million dollars in return. Austin Peay isn't a big college. This money really helps them give scholarships to players and improve the facilities.
Austin Peay had been improving their field when they found a sinkhole that could have ended up collapsing if they never found it. It was literally in the endzone.
I disagree that FCS vs FBS should be gotten rid of. |

I understand that the game raise money for fcs programs, but overall the gamea are trash and essentially pointless. Surely there's other way for fcs teams to get money. |

If it isn't a state institution (which probably at least 3/4 of the FCS isn't) they have to rely on fundraisers and donations from boosters or other alumni. A lot of these programs already don't have a lot of money. These games give them a way to grow their program through better players and better facilities.
It is also used for teams to practice a real game situation. Most teams probably go 75% when facing FCS teams and it allows players to get more in game reps. In practice you play against your defense or offense. In a game you play against someone else's defense or offense. You don't have to worry about injuring the other person because he's not on your team. |

"1. eliminates mediocrity being rewarded"
Lol not every athlete is good enough at 'ball to play at Texas, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, or USC dude...
Leave the bowl games at 6 wins to qualify, but we don't need 40 damn bowl games, 36 is fine |

i know which is why another way to qualify is to finish over .500 in your conference. |

CHANGE TO QUALIFICATION 2:
FINISH OVER .500 IN CONFERENCE PLAY (WITH A .500 OR BETTER NON-CONFERENCE RECORD FOR G5 TEAMS) |
