Idea. You do the same thing but a stair step frame. Ex you have to win the Sun to have a shot at a team in the ACC and you have to win that conference to have a shot at the top dogs like the SEC. And the best two teams in the SEC play for the National Championship

Theoretically I would love to see this in CFB because I’ve become a huge Premier League fan in the past couple months. However, it would only exacerbate the NIL, recruiting, and transfer portal issues plaguing the sport now.

[@NeverwascooL]

Prom/Rel can work in college football with a multi year system. No way a 1 bad season system would work for the reasons he listed but if the media rights were more for the conference instead of the teams it wouldn't plus I imagine that any smart conference would negotiate a deal to have them also cover G5 conference to ensure that fan base stays watching. I think a system that covers every 4 years would work out nicely cause then your total record over those seasons would more accurate. I imagine FSU went down cause they had a senior heavy team and everyone got drafted or graduated and it would suck as a freshman coming to what you thought was a national title competing team and end up in a G5 conf. Also over 4 years you know you are bad. If you finish at the bottom 2 or 3 seasons in a row you most likely aren't competing anyways and are dragging down competition which prom/rel is designed to ensure the best play the best on a consistent basis while also being somewhat close in talent.

It’s a good idea don’t get me wrong but it dosent make since like he uses Vanderbilt as a example but they are not good at football but they are amazing at baseball and I think basketball do good where they can’t go to one of those small conferences because they would go undefeated

[@klayman2]

easy fix, change transferring to once per athlete and ensure a cap on NIL funds similar to a cap in the NFL

[@sportscity3985]

@@NeverwascooL I think it would be awesome in real life and would make the game more interesting. The thing that I am unsure of is what about the other sports? Vanderbilt is an elite baseball program but are terrible at football. I can’t remember if you can be in different conferences for different sports or not. It’s something you have to think about because if Vanderbilt was stuck playing baseball in the sunbelt they would dominate. Although I believe that the baseball program would be able to stay in the SEC but I’m not 100% sure

These kinds of simulations are so much fun to watch. I play dynasty sim leagues with 6 power conferences and 4 non-power conferences, which ends up with some strange but hilarious results (e.g FIU went from the SBC > B1G and won the conference the next year). So glad to see these kids of videos, and I only hope that you had as much fun making it as I did watching it.

I did something somewhat similar in NCAA 12 or 13, but instead I grouped teams in conferences based on the school's prestige level. After every season, I would realign teams based on their new prestige level. It eventually got to a point after a few seasons where the game didn't like that and would no longer let me move teams around between conferences!

[@XillsFormerly]

Did you completely even out the number of teams in each conference by chance?

[@KamikazeXero]

@@XillsFormerly This was about 11 or 12 years ago, so I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty sure there were some conferences that had the max number of teams and some that may have had less than the maximum number. The game does require conferences with divisions to have no more than a one team difference in size between those divisions. I just remember it wouldn't let me if I tried moving a team at all from any conference, regardless of size. I used to have a word document as I went along to keep track, I think I may still have the save, but the word document is probably long gone!

8:01 Back to the CUSA lol. Just hearing that brings back the best memories of my life going with my grandpa to Southern Miss games back when TCU, Louisville, Cimcinatti, Army, Tulane, ECU, Houston, Memphis, and UAB, back during the early days of the CUSA. Back before all the decent team left, (other than Southern Miss), and it slowly turned into what it is today. Like it broke my heart seeing what Southern Miss started slowly turning into as the Conference got worse. Like Southern Miss used to always be that small that you had to wait our for cause they were more than capable of coming to your school and beating the "Big teams", just ask FSU, Bama and especially Bear Bryant (Southern beat them on his last home game as well), and all the other big tea,s they beat a good many times back then Though it’s the Sun Belt, I’m just glad we left that damn CUSA finally, though I wish they’d just go independent tbh.

[@RoyalMela]

I played a similar type dynasty but I just had different levels and ranked conferences from top to bottom. SEC was the top level, Big Ten was 2nd, Pac-12 third highest, Big-12 fourth highest and so on. I put 11 teams to every conference and then all the remaining teams were Independents. After every season I promoted two teams from lower division to higher one and relegated two worst ones. Since I was not able to get bowl games to decide the promotion, I just took the regular season records and made my moves from there. There was some teams who made huge steps forward but also some teams fell down quickly. It was fun but then at some point I had to quit since seems like there is a limit on how many teams can you move from division to other throughout the dynasty.

[@phoenixrising763]

At the start of the video what you've just described is actually closer to the Promotion/Relegation playoffs in German Football. Wherein, the two top teams of the 2.Bundesliga are promoted, the two bottom Bundesliga teams are relegated and third best and worst of each division then play each other in a Relegation/Promotion Playoff. The winner then plays in the Bundesliga the next season.

[@therocknrollmillennial535]

I like this idea for a video! It would also be cool to see it as the conferences ranked (where the bottom two teams of conference 1 fought to avoid relegation to conference 2, on down the line) so the conference makeup would be more dynamic, instead of knowing that only AAC/ACC teams could switch, for example. Like, imagine Ohio in the PAC-12, or Washington State in C-USA.

As a massive MTSU fan, it brought me such great joy to see us promoted by beating our biggest rival, Western Kentucky. Made my day lol.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

man, championship games/promotion battles against rivals are truly something else. Don't know if you like soccer, but on that topic I recommend seeing the Brighton vs Crystal Palace playoff game in 2013. Palace, away, won to advance for the playoff final for a spot in the Premier League, against their biggest rival.

[@trevorjackson2797]

[@nickb8692]

I do like this for every single dynasty I play. Same exact rules. I never had a team do well in the promoted conferences, they basically just alternate every year. Except Vandy who got stuck in the Sun Belt for years

[@andyjohns3023]

I love this idea and I have a suggestion/idea that may be interesting. Also not sure if this is possible to do but thought I'd throw it out there. Set it up like the actual English soccer structure. Premier League - Big10 and SEC combined Championship - ACC and Big12 combined League 1 - Pac12 and AAC combined League 2 - SBC and MAC combined National League - Mid America and MW combined Then the top team earns automatic promotion. The worst team automatic relegation. Then the 2nd best plays the second worst and the 3rd best plays the 3rd worst for each other's spots. Only "premier league" teams can play in the playoff. It'd be quite complicated but cool to see if someone from the MW could make it all the way up or if a big school fell all the way down. Again loved the video and wanted to suggest another idea!

7mins in and this is already great, dope idea💪🏾💯

[@mmmcounts]

I very much like this idea, and I'd like to suggest doing it again with the last major round of conference realignment factored in, but different and better in my opinion. I would love to see how pro/rel shakes out if there are five distinct tiers, with two conferences at the top. The champions of the Big Ten and SEC play each other for the national title, and that's how that goes. Meanwhile, taking it one column at a time, the Big Ten stack goes from them to the ACC, then the Pac-12, then the Mountain West, and finally the MAC. The SEC stack sees the last place SEC team relegated to the Big 12, followed by the American, then the Sun Belt and finally Conference-USA. I will suggest that you plug all of the independents into Conference-USA as this one has the lowest membership at the moment. There is so much fun to be had with this setup. See which teams can get promoted and win the Natty, see who gets relegated or promoted the most levels, and see how the conferences look at the end of it. They will look drastically different, and some of these conferences will have hardly any of the same teams by the end. I will suggest just one more tweak. The last two go down automatically and the top two go up automatically. Teams three and four get matched up with third and fourth from the last, and they play against each other in order to sort themselves out. The main reason I suggest it is to speed up the process and move twice as many teams each season, and those games will continue to be highly competitive due to the altered setup. I hope you see this- I'd like to think it's a good suggestion. Thanks for this video!

[@woodenmallard60]

Im doing this before this video!!! Mine was a little different. I basically had the re-alignement where SEC was the top school and goes down. Worst team of conference goes down the conference and the lower cobference champions take their place. The worst conference worst team swaps place with the 1 team in independants. Super fun and interesting!
