A way to have fixed this would have been to to do all of the conferences connected like the English soccer pyramid. Instead of just having the teams swap back and forth, let teams fall down multiple leagues and make em crawl back up. Have the SEC be the “premier league”, Big10 be the “Championship league”, ACC be “league one”, Big12 be “league two” and so on and so forth. It’ll make it a lot harder for teams to just keep bouncing back and forth and playing the same people.

that would be a really good idea, i don’t watch soccer but now that i think of it that would be really fun to watch but more years and faster simming would give it more time to develop

[@LJWS8]

@@ProjectEditzzz yea you’d need like 25 years to really see some crazy changes, and a thing with the leagues below the highest one, they do a playoff promotion. So only the team that wins the league gets an automatic promotion, 2nd-6th have to play in a promotion and the two finalists get a promotion. So three go up and down but you can barely make it into the playoffs but win and get a promotion still

Another video idea would be not only to do promotion/relegation, but also to expand that to a full CFB relegation with every conference included and connected, with top teams SEC, followed by Big 10 being second tier, ACC 3rd tier, and so on down the list.

[@MichaelS-kg9ci]

I’ve been doing this in my most recent dynasty I started with my hometown college, except I’ve brought divisions back and it’s the loser-winner of each division. I’ve also gotten rid of all independent teams. The teams that get promoted are the teams who make the conference championship and the teams that get relegated are the bottom team of each division. I’m also keeping track of promotion-relegation and national champions, but cause of this video I’ll keep track of Heisman winners. A rule I implemented is if you win the Natty, you get a 3-year immunity, and that if a Group of 5 team wins the Natty, they have lifetime immunity in the conference they go up to.

[@boyxgamer]

Hello Mr Bordeaux! Great vid as always. I have also run promo/relegations in a dynasty and I found that things were much more fun if I gave teams a one year "grace period". Basically, a team cannot be promoted the same year it was relegated and vice versa. Makes the stakes a little higher for a team who may have just had one bad/good year, and gives them a chance to get and keep a recruiting class in the conference they recruited it in for one season. Just food for thought should you ever do something like this again.

[@dankcoyote]

Bordeaux, please consider this: Divide college football into 4 divisions of 64 teams. The bottom 4 and top 4 promote and relegate each season. Each division is divided into 4 conferences of 16 teams. The first 8 games are played within your conference. A bracket of all 64 teams is created. The 4 quadrants of the bracket are seeded from each conference. Top seed has home field. The final 4 are the conference champions played at neutral sites. This format gives every team a chance. It rewards record with top seed/home field, and produces conference champions in the tourney.

[@TheDieseI]

​@@dankcoyote1, theres alot of extra work that goes into creating a true Pro/Rel system in game and youre limited by how you can actually edit things like neutral site games 2, this more accurately portays real life soccer leagues. Dont think of it as 1league. Think more like - The NCAA is UEFA, and each 2 blocks of Confrences would represent a different country

[@dankcoyote]

I’m saying for real life.

[@geo-gaming_8833]

@@TheDieseIthats actually a smart way of thinking about it. The playoffs could be like Champions League🤣

[@dankcoyote]

@@TheDieseI I'm saying for real life. There is a way to rid ourselves of the human intervention, the logo bias, and have a truly amazing league. The system we have is all jacked up and I don't understand the point of having 128 teams in a single division when statistically, historically the bottom half of the FBS doesn't even have a .500 record to play in a bowl game. Those teams aren't doing themselves or the league any good. The bottom half of the FBS should be in the "Second Division" with the final four of that divisions playoffs eligible for promotion to the First Division the following year. This means that in theory, even a Freshman on the 256th team in the country, bottom of the Fouth Division... could conceivably promote themselves to the First Division by their senior year and win the Division I National Championship. This is better for the team, players, fans, school, recruiting, etc. You could totally sell recruits on "Well, you could go to Colorado, sit on the bench for 3 years, maybe play a little your senior year and win nothing. Or you come to our school in Division II, start as a freshman, win games and help us win the Division II championship and promote to Division I. I haven't fully fleshed out this idea and I'm sure there's smarter ways to do it. One thing I can't get past is balancing enough games for the losers of the first playoff round and playing too many games for the national champion. If there was a consolation bracket you could guarantee 10 games for every team. Other than the seeding process the part that would have folks the most upset would be the algorithm deciding who the bottom 4 teams are for relegation. We like drama, we like emotion, but letting a group of people decide the fate of the playoffs seems like a really dumb way to do it.

bordeaux, i have an idea, it still includes promotion and relegations, but all the conference are connected, so the top conference is the one who will help most with recruits as for the last conference being the absolute worst, start off with the best rated teams at the top and the worst at the bottom, so like soccer theirs multiple divisions like how a bad school if do good can climb the conferences and make it to the top, sounds pretty epic to me

I'm in year 20ish in a dynasty where I do this based on stars. 3 stars and up go to power 5 and you end up independent if you are less than 2 stars. Sometimes when independent seems to get too full or the G5 is too light, I change the criteria to lowest caliber which could mean 1.5 star schools in a G5. It's fun and cool to see some schools rise from the ashes like north Texas runs the b12 right now

[@floriant4336]

in German Soccer, only the bottom 2 teams go directly down, getting swapped with the top two in div2. The div2 3rd place will play the third last team of div1 in a relegation playoff for the last spot in the top flight. I think that system could be very interesting in a format like this as it creates crucial games to watch.

I actually only use a relegation/promotion format in any dynasty setup. Except I do it with regional realignment, and only promoting once they hit at least 3.5 prestige level as a program. Same rules for relegating, only when they go below 3 star.

[@TateNutter-u2c]

You should do a dynasty and create the most stacked conference ever and rebuild a team in the top 25 and move as many ranked teams to one conference as possible every year and do the same challenges that you always do

I do this in my College Football game (with the bottom teams in the Power Five conferences (ACC, SEC, B1G, Big 12, Pac-12) feed into the Group of Five (AAC, Sun Belt, MAC, C-USA, MWC) who sends it champion up with all the conferences geographically aligned) but in reality the fairest way would probably be best/worst record over four years

[@senamortotsi573]

i like how realistic this concept is because if big teams in the premier league happen to be relegated the top players have a contract clause that would force the club to release them so it’s cool seeing top recruits leaving schools once they get relegated well done again bordeaux

Oh and I just thought of this other way you could do it is you could go with a promotion and relegation where for example the SEC is the premier League and then the big 10 is the next league down and just work your way down all the way down to the lowest rated conference being the bottom league and then still do three promotions in three demotions every year, so for example the bottom three teams of the SEC would be demoted down to the Big 10 and then if the next year those teams were in the bottom three of the big 10 they beat demoted down to say the ACC and see how it develops from there what do you think Bordeaux?

I rebalanced the entire FBS as regionally based as possible with 10 teams per P5 conference and the 2 worst teams from each P5/G5 pairing were placed as independents. The independents then had to earn their way into a G5 and then P5. Charlotte was winning the ACC from and independent after 3 seasons. Also, I believe Boise was never recognized because there weren't enough teams in the conferences.

[@LlamaVomit]

I’ve done a 30 year pro/rel dynasty with regional conferences. Instead of 3 at a time I use group of 5 schools conference championship game to determine who goes up. Virginia went down in 2030 and never made it back to the acc lol. Kentucky went down for a season and won the CFP as a group of 5 school. I can’t remember what year it was, but I thought that was hilarious

[@timothypierce5303]

I'm trying something similar to what you did, but I'm ranking the conferences, SEC first, based on average school rankings, then at the end of the season the 3 worst teams go to the Big 10 who is second, and then so on down. But also the reverse too, all the way down to the worst conferences. So basically BIG 10 loses Michigan, Ohio St, Oregon (to the SEC), Indiana, Mich St, Nebraska (to the ACC), but gains Florida, Auburn, Miss St (worst SEC), Clemson, Georgia Tech and Pitt (best ACC).
