POST YOUR CUSTOM CONFERENCE SETUP!

[itzBroseph]

Here is my most recent custom conference setup. Basic geographic relocation with each power 5 assigned a group of 5. Relegation at end of each season. I have tried several different relegation setups and I'm interested in seeing what everyone else uses. Post your setup!

This is the current season of a promotion-relegation OD that I run. Teams move up and down within their color band.

No need for all caps, but this is what I do. It's based on a Reddit post a while back and it's this alternate timeline idea. Very detailed history and kinda fascinating.

Its worth a read if your interested in college football. Here's a link to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comment...nate_timeline/

Here's a map of the conferences too: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/ed...6885986328&z=5

The bowl tie-ins are as follows and make sense if you read the link.

Fiesta: MWC champion vs Sun Belt champion

Orange: ACC champion vs winner of Big 7/Southwest champion

Rose: Big 10 champion vs Pac-9 champion

Sugar: SEC champion vs At-Large

American Champion automatically qualifies to any BCS bowl.

Props to vgunn for coming up with this. This is what I use:

With these conferences you get geographical benefits and many rivalries stay intact. Classic rivalry games will be among the non-conference slate. This alignment also does a great job of limiting certain teams from going undefeated i.e. GT ARMY NAVY MIAMI OH SDSU, ETC. Also, there is a championship game for every conference.

For the locations of the CCG I used;
ACC: Default
American: Metlife Stadium
Big12: Cowboys Stadium
B1G: Default
CUSA: M&T Bank Stadium
MAC: Default
MWC: Sports Authority Field At Mile High
PAC12: Soldier Field
SEC: Default
SunBelt: Dallas Stadium

1 Maryland 1 (Indiana)
2 Penn State. 2 (Purdue)

The American Conference is unique, in that it is just the top rated private universities and service academies. Notre Dame gets the bulk of it's rivalries and annual games are protected as well. So, for example, every year one of the fixed non-conference games for Stanford is Cal. Same for USC, which will always play UCLA.

[Hunkerdown]

Here is my current set up, still needs some tweaking, want to continue trend of geographical setup, I turn off all protected rivals, and will mess with bcs spots, right now power 5 conferences and at large bids.

I thought I had read somewhere that you couldn't change conference names or division names. Is that true for both? Or is it one or the other?

You can change division names, but not conference names, on '14.
