Maybe the FAA grounding all flights is exactly what we needed to save college football. Suddenly, regional conferences have never made more sense.

College football should seriously consider some sort of broken up regional conference system so that the travel is easier.
ASU is scrambling to make its cross-country trek -- 2,000 miles—to face UCF. The Sun Devils are now scheduled to fly out early Saturday morning, pending their flight crews' availability, with the hope of getting out as early as possible. ASU coach Kenny Dillingham told @TheAthletic he expects the team to land in Orlando around noon ET and then be ready for the 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
“I’ve coached high school games before where we’ve had four-hour bus rides, so let’s dance!
“There’s really nothing you can do about it. It is what it is. And it’s not like they’re gonna count it as .75 in the loss column if you lose. If you make a big deal about it with your team, then it’s a big deal. I’m trying to make it as un-big of a deal as we can."

If only there were a way to organize college football into groups of schools close enough to take a bus. Could even name the groups after their geographic regions. Just spitballing.

Oklahoma is 5-4, this is my last straw.
Also, remember how much a BCS Fiesta Bowl mattered to both teams? Damn, this sport has changed.

Great point by him. Just align schools by region and geographic common sense.. stop making schools fly all the way across the country. This would be great for fan bases and bring back some rivals as well
NEW: Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz on the elimination of conference championships:
"My question is why are we associated with conferences anymore if we’re not playing for a conference championship? If the point now is just to be playing into a sea of 24, are we just doing it for scheduling affiliation? If we’re just doing it for scheduling affiliation, is there a reason to be flying all the way across the country to play games from a national perspective?"

Imagine college football adopts a system where teams are regionally clustered and schedule the schools close by. Then, every year, the teams from each cluster are paired up for competitive matchups in destinations where fans can go celebrate the season and watch a great game.
If we’re moving towards an NFL style system then using “ranked wins” has to go away. We value a win over #25 when objectively, 5-10 teams on a given week could realistically hold that spot?
Imagine a random cutoff of a moving target in the nfl deciding playoff spots?

There are 67 P4s plus ND that’s 68.
There are 23 playoff spots for them.
That means 1/3 of the power 4 will qualify for the playoff.
That is a complete joke. #CFB

I have no idea why you need to be in a conference at this point. Play whoever you want.

10 conference champions.
14 at-large bids.
If people are so worried about the regular season losing value, this is the only correct format for a 24-team playoff.
BREAKING: The College Football Playoff and ESPN have agreed on a five-year deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027, @CFBHeather reports.

The Kansas Jayhawks have had two winless seasons in the CFP era.
Boise State has been bowl eligible for 29 straight years.
Kansas finished in the CFP rankings zero times.
Boise State finished in the CFP rankings five times.
But Kansas counts as "P4?”
P4 ≠ good team
NEW: Power conferences will be required to play at least 10 P4 opponents starting in 2027, The College Football Playoff announced.

If you eliminate conference championship games, what's the point of having conferences.
Just schedule 12 games and let the rankings decide. – at Statesboro, GA

18 team conferences
Half the teams in the conferences don't even play each other
No conference championship game to declare an actual champion
Conferences will inevitably end up with 2 and 3-way ties at the end of the season
Teams flying across the country to play a random matchup with no history in front of a 20% full stadium
From a football standpoint, what's the point of a conference?
Schools should just go independent in football and go back to regional conferences for Olympic sports

College football as we know is no more. Conference championships go out the window next season as the CFP expansion begins. I asked Wake Forest's Jake Dickert about the change today.

Basically implies that it’s normal to change coordinators this often.
It is unbelievable this jackass still has a job.

They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.
