I've revamped the Big Ten setup in the OP, and also revised the 4th and 5th protected opponents for the ACC there. OK, made some changes again to the Big Ten setup in the OP based partly on your reply. What's funny is I think I have the first 3 columns of opponents back to where I had them last week. PSU has Michigan back. I kept MSU/Indiana but forewent OSU/Illinois in favor of OSU/Rutgers. Less history, but I think OSU will appreciate the recruiting grounds. RE: Divisionless Football Conferences? - Nerdlinger - 10-20-2019 03:05 PM Here's a long-term divisionless setup for the AAC, assuming they maintain their existing 11 FB members aside from UConn and are able to continue holding a CCG despite not having any sort of round robin (achieved either by means of an extended waiver or a rule change). Code: SCHOOL IF 2 PROTECTED OPPONENTS | +2 IF 4 PROTECTED OPPONENTS RE: Divisionless Football Conferences? - Nerdlinger - 05-14-2020 08:44 PM A 16-team Big Sky for all Mountain/Pacific FCS schools plus NMSU: School: Protected opponent, Semi-protected opponent East Pod Idaho State: Idaho, New Mexico State Montana State: Montana, Northern Arizona Northern Colorado: Dixie State, Portland State Weber State: Southern Utah, Eastern Washington North Pod Eastern Washington: UC Davis, Weber State Idaho: Idaho State, San Diego Montana: Montana State, Cal Poly Portland State: Sacramento State, Northern Colorado South Pod Dixie State: Northern Colorado, Sacramento State New Mexico State: San Diego, Idaho State Northern Arizona: Cal Poly, Montana State Southern Utah: Weber State, UC Davis West Pod Cal Poly: Northern Arizona, Montana Sacramento State: Portland State, Dixie State San Diego: New Mexico State, Idaho UC Davis: Eastern Washington, Southern Utah The pods rotate between "virtual" 8-team divisions in a 3-year cycle. This is just for scheduling purposes, as there are no actual divisions. Conference schedule is 8 games. Pod mates and protected opponents are played every year, semi-protected opponents are played 2 years out of 3, and all other conference mates every 3 years. PS: San Diego and NMSU are unlikely Big Sky adds, for different reasons. RE: Divisionless Football Conferences? - Fighting Muskie - 05-15-2020 06:24 AM Nerdlinger—I toyed with a similar concept for a 20-team Big Ten. I was torn though: Do you rotate the pods and create virtual divisions or, assuming a conference playoff could be on the table, do you just have each team play their pod mates (4) then 2 apiece from the other 3 divisions (6) for a 10 game conference schedule. It works fine if you can create pods that don’t split any rivals—but if you do I’ve to split rivals it can get messy trying to protect them. You’ve seemed to come up with a decent way to make it work on a 16 team system. RE: Divisionless Football Conferences? - templefootballfan - 05-15-2020 01:50 PM I dont like divisionless FB at all.
