Custom Division Ideas

[Kodos for Prez]

Does anyone know how scheduling works if you have 20-team super conferences? I'd like to have 2 divisions where you play everyone in your division and then the division champions can meet to determine the conference champion. Ideally, there'd be no interplay between the divisions during the season.

So I have all my divisions figured out, the teams are ordered in correlation to their cross division rival, so for example Appalachian State-UNC, Duke-Wake and so on. Obviously, some will be common, but some may not have a reasonable one as you see with the Sun Belt and American.

Not bad what you've done, but if I can, I'd simply suggest moving Boston College to the Premier Athletic Conference exchanging directly for UConn, and putting UConn in BC's spot in the MAC as that'll be a true rival between UConn and UMass. 👍👍

Anyone know the max # of independents? NCAA 14 was 32.

Man, I am still bouncing back and forth as to what to do with the PAC 12. In my heart of hearts, they got shafted. I can't possibly let it be the same in the video game world, can I? But top four P4 conferences get byes. Be a little different with five power 5 conferences.

Cool, where did you get the original map with schools?

It's definitely my most fascinating question as well about custom conferences. If you do divisions I would assume what you want may be what is gonna happen.

We don't know the max conference games either. In 2014 it was 10 games for a 15 team conference. Surely for 20 teams that will be an option as well.
