WIN YOUR CONFERENCE. EARN YOUR SEED. COMPETE FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
​
College football does not need further consolidation.
It needs:
-
Clarity
-
Competitive integrity
-
Regional coherence
-
Governance stability
This model delivers a durable national structure while preserving what makes college football distinctive and valuable.
​
​
​
​
-
120 programs
​
-
12 regional conferences of 10 teams
​
-
Round‑robin conference play (9 games)
​
-
16‑team playoff
-
12 automatic bids (conference champions)
-
4 at‑large bids
-
​
-
Seeding by final national ranking
​
​
​
College football is facing growing instability driven by conference sprawl, uneven schedules, rising travel costs, and opaque postseason access. The current system concentrates opportunity among a small subset of programs while weakening regional identity and regular‑season meaning.
​
​
This proposal introduces a nationally unified, regionally grounded championship framework that restores clarity, fairness, and long‑term sustainability—without diminishing elite competition.

Band 2 – wins by 8–16 points = 2 points
-
