Anyone tried no conf title games?

You have to schedule at least one. I cant recall what the error was, but something jacked up happened.

Now all the conferences don't have an equal number of teams, but they are pretty close to past history.

ACC
Clemson
Duke
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Maryland
Miami (FL)
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Virginia
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest

AAC (fka Big East)
Boston College
Cincinnati
Connecticut
Louisville
Pitt
Rutgers
Syracuse
Temple
USF
West Virginia

Big Ten
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Michigan
Michigan State
Minnesota
Northwestern
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
Wisconsin

Big XII (fka Big 8)
Colorado
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Missouri
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State

C-USA
Army
ECU
Marshall
Memphis
Southern Miss
Tulane
Tulsa
UAB
UCF

MAC
Akron
Ball State
Bowling Green
Central Michigan
Eastern Michigan
Kent State
Miami (OH)
Northern Illinois
Ohio
Toledo
Western Michigan

MWC
Air Force
BYU
Colorado State
Fresno State
Hawaii
New Mexico
San Diego State
UNLV
Utah
UTEP
Wyoming

PAC-12 (fka PAC-10)
Arizona
Arizona State
Cal
Oregon
Oregon State
Stanford

And then everyone else (25 teams) would be independent.

this is really tempting to try. interesting that splitting the big 12 teams into the sun belt as well adds a 6th power conference.

How do the AQ for the BCS work under this alignment?

I went with some old bowl alignments...

Rose Bowl: Big Ten and Pac-12
Orange Bowl: Big XII (Big 8)
Sugar Bowl: SEC
Fiesta Bowl: no affiliations

The ACC and American (Big East) weren't locked into a particular bowl, but they would be an AQ in the BCS.

The Sun Belt (Southwestern Conference) champion would play in the Cotton Bowl usually against the #2 team from the SEC, Big XII (Big 8), or a strong Independent. Back then, the Cotton Bowl was comparable to the Rose, Sugar, and Orange Bowls in stature. I'm sure you could make the Sun Belt (SWC) champion an AQ into the BCS if you wanted to.

just finished the last week of the regular season trying this out and the weirdest thing happens. when trying to advance the week to "championship week" (keep in mind there are no championship games, it auto advances all the way through bowl season. it sims all the bowl games but just doesn't stop to let me actually play it. anyone seen this? so bizarre

also I did not get my conference trophy awarded either.

yeah this is weird. So by removing all conf title games (every conference has <12 members), the game automatically skips conference championship week. and in so doing, also skips awarding conference champions. I won the big 12 but did not receive my conference championship trophy. additionally, when I look at my contract screen, the conference logo doesn't show up for this season. I checked other schools and it didn't register for them either, so it appears that no schools won conference titles this year. Bizarre??

does anyone know how to edit historical conference championships (in the team summary and coach contract screens) as well as the trophy case? I want those to accurately reflect the conference titles that don't seem to have registered by skipping conf champ week.
