Custom Tier Conferences

Re: Custom Tier Style Conferences

Love this idea! My friend and I have been doing the concept over the last few years, here's a couple of the set-ups we had.

The first attempt was 4 Big Conferences (with 3 Tiers in each.) This was when the WAC was in-game.

North, East, South, West, with the same amount of teams in the top 2 Tiers, and the leftovers in the Third Tier. It was a lot of fun, but we both ended up taking jobs at Oregon and Oregon State, so the N/E/S got a little neglected attention wise.

The second attempt that was a lot of fun was (with only 11 conferences in game, including Independents,) two 'leagues.' We drafted teams, placed them across Five Tiers, and the remaining were left in the Independents. The top two records in the Independents would float to our bottom Tier (using a coin-flip.) This also created some crazy stacked conferences, a lot of fun coach movements, and as we started in the bottom Tier, was a fun race to the top. I think it took 8 or 9 seasons for us to get even in the Top 2 because sliders are real.

The third was a solo attempt of mine. 11 Tiers! Somewhere there's an unfinished dynasty thread with me recounting the seasons on here. I recently updated the rosters and did the same, and now I have an 8-team playoff using the mods. The Top 4 Tiers have 9 Teams each, the 5th through 8th Teirs have 12 Teams, and the 9th and 10th have 14 Teams. Lowest of the lows go down to the Independents (11th Tier.)

So along with the crazy playoffs, and custom bowl set-ups, this world has been my favorite. Top Tier teams struggling (because a conference schedule of Ohio State/Michigan/Alabama/Stanford/etc is grueling, allows for a TON of coach movement. Georgia went from Tier 2 to Tier 6 in four seasons, that same world had June Jones takeover Army, Nick Saban takeover Eastern Michigan and Les Miles takeover UL-Lafayette to name a few.

I love seeing other people come up with the same or similar ideas. I wouldn't half-mind an Online Dynasty with 11 others doing a set-up like this.

There was a thread about this not too long ago. Check it out: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...r-dynasty.html

That's so awesome man! Yea I have seen some crazy stuff so far, but I love it. Nick Saban is in the hot-seat right now and I think he may get the boot after this year. I really like the idea of drafting teams. Might have to try that sometime with some buddies.

Thanks! I'm interested to see how other people set it up.

No problem. Ive personally used timeyto's setup and jello's setup (you can find both in that other thread I linked) and they both work pretty well. Although I prefer jello's
