A new and better FBS thread

Always hard to speculate.

Yea, but how bad ass would it of been.

So does Covid and NDSU straight dominating end the FBS dreams forever?

Dom Izzo tweeted this article link regarding FBS realignment - has only NDSU moving up from FCS. Interesting conference, schedule and playoff concepts.

Those conferences would kind of suck. Lots of poor games would be played weekly

"If you’re concerned about a proliferation of mismatches in this conference alignment, you haven’t been paying attention. There already are plenty of blowouts on a weekly basis. Some 2019 numbers: 37 games involving SEC teams decided by 30 points or more; 36 involving ACC teams; 35 involving the Big Ten; 19 involving the Big 12; and 16 involving the Pac-12. Removing FCS opponents from the schedule will reduce the number of hide-your-eyes massacres."

Bison conference looks good to me. Miss the bunnies but that's about it ...

Are those numbers conference games only?

Since this idea is so awesome and makes sense there is no way the NCAA would ever promote doing something like this. Sad but true.

In case you want more:

In depth look at 'America, Realigned' Roundtable: Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Great Midwest Conference (future home of the Bison)

“Which programs are underrated in the GMwC and would give the favorites fits?”

Guess who??

Pretty sure not one current P5 conference school would agree to this. It’s a great idea if your not one of those schools.

[MankatoBison]

The only fantasy world where this would get ANY consideration, is if the P5 Power structure would still exist.
As in, the B1G would still exist, but it would be the great midwest and whatever the other geographical fit is (the Mid american? whatever one ohio state and Michigan are in)

So each P5 conference would have 24 Teams, basically 2 divisions, or halves or whatever you want to call them.

I LOVE this idea, but obviously this is just a pipe dream. or a wet dream in Chapos case

Still love it and will dream about it each night until the good Lord takes me home
