blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Could a split between the haves and have-nots of college football be in the works? Barnhart proposes that the six major conferences and the independents -- Army, Navy, Notre Dame and BYU -- would form a 70-team group called the College Football Association. The non-AQ teams would have to ban together with the I-AA schools (or FCS) to stay afloat. I like the idea. What do you guys think?

Read More Here I think this article and Barnhart are putting far too much stock into what is little more than a Big Ten/SEC brainstorming session. They're using that as one of the main vehicles to drive this change. I would prefer to see an actual plan, rather than just an idea, spur this sort of change. While yes, the BCS is hopefully a dying breed, I don't think banding together would be the most reasonable solution. The non-AQ schools are already on the outside-looking-in; I don't know if I see the benefit in making it an official alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueinbama 259 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 The non-AQ schools are already on the outside-looking-in I guess I don't see that as a bad thing, and maybe it's because I am a Bama fan and a fan of the SEC. I have always contended strength of schedule should account for a bigger piece of the puzzle when deciding rankings, and Mid Majors, now Non-AQ teams, definitely have it easier than the AQ teams.

I definitely agree, strength of schedule should play a significantly greater role. To play devil's advocate: couldn't you just tweak the BCS to account for strength of schedule more than it does now?
