POST YOUR CUSTOM CONFERENCE SETUP!

There is an option at the bottom of the screen that allows you to delete that slot. That doesn't sound like what I want to do. At least I don't think. I left all the slots for the conferences there and added in two more for the ones at the bottom. For the slot beside the conferences, you can tell which bowl you want them in. I placed all of those on "Any".

What you've done, I think, is given an automatic BCS bid (ANY BCS game) to every conference winner. By deleting the slot, you've opened up BCS bids to everyone. If the top-ten BCS teams are all from one conference, then that's who gets the bid. The way you've done it ensures that every conference champion gets in.

Really like this set up and graphic...simple and easy to implement. Going to give it a go when I start up a new dynasty!

I've only ever done default + a guide to keep each year up to date from 2013 current day, but I really like the idea of that OP set and will use it for an alternate dynasty. My only question would be to wonder how to set the BCS bids up?

I set mine up exactly like the OP. For the BCS bowls, I went:

Rose = Big Ten vs Pac12
Sugar = SEC vs Big12
Orange = ACC vs at large
Fiesta = at large vs at large

I'm using this is a kind of base into what regions each school falls into, but I obviously set it up differently when I started. Something interesting just happened with it.

Year 1-Louisville in the ACC (Tier 2), makes it to National Championship and loses
Year 2-Louisville in SEC (tier 1), does well, I believe were ranked all year
Year 3-Louisville in SEC (tier 1), gets demoted
Year 4-Louisville in ACC (tier 2), gets demoted
Year 5-Louisville in C-USA E (tier 3), gets demoted

In a 5 year span Louisville went from competing for a National Championship to getting demoted to the bottom tier. This did coincide with losing Lamar Jackson, but to still get demoted every year is something I found really noteworthy.
