Ideas for the NCAA Football league!!!

Ideas for the NCAA F

Hey, lets post our ideas here, so that whoever runs this league will know what the players want in this league!

 

Decided to try and keep all the idea's in one location as I find them.


1. No preseason -- there is no preseason in NCCA College Football.
2. You only play a team once during the season.
3. You play everyone in your own division, then more teams from other divisions sprinkled in. (determined after it is known how many teams & divisions)

5. Season ends with a division/conference championship game.

6. Maybe we should implement what should have always been implemented in College football which is a playoff for the championship. Of course the playoff, should not be half the league as that is not realistic.

7. 6 Divisions - 5 Teams
You play the Teams in your Division. 4 Games
Then Play 1 Team Randomly chosen from the Other 5 Divisions. 5 Games
9 Games Played then the Playoffs.

8. 1 game a week played which goes for 9 week season.

9. keep some of the teams from the same conference in the same divisions, that way we can still have rivalry games

10. The BCS shouldn't be used in any way to determine the champion. We could maybe have it to set the top 25 rankings but that those would be used just for fun.

More idea's to follow.

 

I say keep it simple. 24-32 teams. Mix had a good idea of 30 teams set up like the NFL in 2 Conferences with 3 divisions 5 teams each. I would definately want to see a playoff format, but also have some type of rankings system contributed by the players just for fun. Just some thoughts to ponder I guess.

 

I like it, especially the division championship idea.

 

I would rather see 6 Conferences with 5 teams each. This is college football... not the NFL. There is already a NFL league.

 

I agree 6 conferences sounds good with playoff teams consisting of top teams from each conference.

 

maybe instead of going too 2 leagues we could i have like a big like 48 or 60 team league that would be awesome

 

Problem with that as we've already seen is guys start dropping out and the League as a whole suffers.

 

true but idoubt a lot of people will drop during summertime when there mostly free.and this league will be active because almost everyone in hockey and in the MLB are active and a lot of people are active in AAA i think we could get 48 really active guys to get in a season

 

i derfinetly think we should play more than the reall NCAA teams play at least like 18 games we could go 18 games/ 2 games a week

 

I would like to see it just like real College Football as far as Conferences. Like the Big 12, Big 10, ACC, Pac 10. I think it would be cool to keep it as real as possible. I think we should stick with the main conferences though because I don't think it would be too hard to fill them up as there are not that many bad ones. Just my 2 cents though.

 

Well its like my grandpa once told me, if you get everybody's 2 cents together, you may have a dollar eventually.

But as for your idea, I like it, keep all the big conferences if enough like it and choose your teams. I don't mind mixing them up though.

 

Here is how I see it: Most of the other sites that run NCAA Leagues don't have enuf interest to get all of the teams in one conference, and that is respectable, cuz we shouldn't make someone have to play with Vandy in the SEC if they don't want to. So what they then do is move teams that Geographically would fit into that conference in there and still keep the same names, SEC, BigTen, Big XII, and so on.

I think that we need two polls, one being the Coach's Poll (Members), and then the second could be our AP Poll, which I see two ways of doing. One could be a BCS type system, or we could have people that aren't in the league look at the box scores and schedule and other perameters and then vote on rankings.

There is definitely going to have to be a playoff, cuz as we all know opinions can't decide who is the National Champion, so a playoff system is a must. I think it should be like what many of the writers have stated. Keep the bowl games and just make them certain games along the way. IE: last year it woulda looked something like this, you have some of the less popular bowls be the opening rounds, Wells Fargo Sun Bowl, Insite.com Bowl, etc and then you move onto the more popular(BCS Bowls) so you have for the Semis something like the Fiesta and Rose Bowls leading up to the Nokia Sugar Bowl for the Championship game.

Those are just a few of the ideas I have.

 

Agree completely. If you have ever been or attempted to run a league like this you would know exactly what Gophers is talking about. There are not a lot of people out there dedicated enough to use a Vandy or any other lower ranked team. Once you get out of the top 20-30 teams it is a crap shoot.

 

Thats for sure, and Vandy is one of those Snake Eyes teams in my opinion.

 

Oh, just thinking of this, if we have Conference Title games for every conference, wouldn't that be getting away from the true college sport. I know for sure that the Pac 10 and BigTen don't have title games. I think that we should keep the same conference names and then apply the same rules under those conference names. So people in the BigXII will have a title game where people in the BigTen won't. Just another 2 cents.

 

And would these title game be considered part of the playoffs or what. That would give some teams playing more games than others. How would the playoffs be determined then?

 

Well I am just saying that that should be the way that should be used it we want to keep this as college like as we possibly can. If we did it this way I say you take the top teams from each division. Say we have 6 divisions than I say we take the two top teams remaining as wildcards. Just like in real college you take a look at how many wins and losses and who they are against to decide. That is also where the rankings would come into play. I suggest we do something like that if we want to stick to realism.

 

3 Conferences have Championship games (Big 12, SEC, MAC) Is that right? If we had it set this way you put the 3 with championships into 1 overall bracket for playoffs and the other 3 conferences in the other bracket. You could do seeding based on the outcome of the championship games and the seedings for the other ones could be done based on their season records.


To sum it up. You have 9 Reg. season games followed by 3 Conference championship games, followed by a playoff system to determine the champion. How does that sound?

 

But, if the MAC is not one of the Conferences we chose then i guess that leaves us with 2 Conference title games if we go that route.
