[QUOTE="Randy Carson, post: 874539, member: 766"] I think so. We establish multiple divisions and place schools across the country into the various divisions based on enrollment, budget, past record, etc. (the first year will be the hardest to rank - after that, it's best on W-L record). Division 1 might only have 24 schools divided into two conferences of twelve schools each. This would mean 11 regular season games and one Division Championship game for a total of 12 for those two. Eleven for everyone else. At the end of each season, the top two teams from each division move up to the division above and the bottom two teams move down one level. There is a championship game for each division. The football factories will generally be in a league at the top but the worst of that group WILL move down while the best two teams from D2 will move up and have a chance to play with the big boys. The fortunes of each school will rise and fall over time, but generally each season will see fair competition among equals. This is how English Football (soccer) works. Tech wouldn't be playing Clemson and Georgia and Notre Dame right now. We wouldn't be playing Western Carolina, either. In theory, we could eventually get back to the top Division, but I suspect we would likely rank near the top of Division 2 (which is probably our realistic, permanent home) and the occasional bump up to the bottom of Division 1.
