(High vs. High) ACC/Big 12: Orange Bowl
(Medium vs. Medium) PAC-12/American: Allstate Sugar Bowl
(Low vs. Low) MWC/C-USA: Fiesta Bowl

Goal: I want to move up from Mr. Irrelevant all the way up to the SEC (Elite A/B)

How the Relegation System works: Teams are grouped based on preseason rankings, top conference (SEC/Elite) has best teams, and the worst two team are in the Independents (Mr. Irrelevant(s) ) The conference champion each year is promoted to the next conference, and the team with the worst record is demoted to the conference below. The only exception is the champion of the SEC (Elite A/B) because there is no conference higher. For example the champion of the Big Ten will be promoted to the SEC and the worst SEC team will be demoted to the Big Ten. The only way the Mr. Irrelevant(s) can move up are if they win a bowl game in which case both can move up in a single season. Other than those exceptions only two teams in a conference are relegated/promoted.

Recruiting Restrictions: None, would be very tedious if I did impose any

I will be keeping track of big games, conference titles, bowl games, and the playoffs (yes I will be implementing a 4-team playoff, champion of SEC and Big Ten and two highest ranked non-conference champions.
