Merit-Based College Football

A merit-based vision for CFB. 7 balanced conferences. Promotion & relegation. 16-team playoff. No selection committee. Earn your way in. Play your way out.

CFB doesn't need another patch. It needs a new system

7 balanced conferences
No super conferences
Promotion & relegation
No selection committee
16-team playoff
Conference champions automatically qualify
Play-in games settle the rest

Earn your way in. Play your way out.

@StillyState Pre season rankings. That’s the explanation

[Merit-Based College Football @MeritBasedCFB]

@MillyGoats My system fixes that too bc nonconf games have 0 impact on path to the post season, only helps your seeding. The top 3 in conference make the post season. 1st is in the 16 team bracket 2nd & 3rd have play in games to earn their spot in. Conference games should mean EVERYTHING.

[Merit-Based College Football @MeritBasedCFB]

@flatland_sports My system is 10 team conferences. 3 pre conference games with a bye week. Then 9 game round robin with a bye week. Conf Champ gets auto bid. 2nd and 3rd place teams play cross conference play in games. All that = 16 team bracket https://t.co/hBBLhG1oSE

@MeritBasedCFB @Firstand16_Pod This is one of the better proposed realignments I’ve seen

@georgewrighster In my merit based system there is an incentive to schedule tough non conf games but doesn't negatively effect your playoff path! https://t.co/hBBLhG0R36

@Scottyterrible @Firstand16_Pod It will never happen but one can dream. If it ever does change, I have everything ready to go!

[Merit-Based College Football @MeritBasedCFB]

@MillyGoats Agreed. That's why in my system the conference champions are heavily rewarded. https://t.co/hBBLhG1oSE

@Firstand16_Pod Once you have At-Large bids, that creates a need for a committee looking at resumes & deciding who gets in off the field. In my system all playoff qualifiers earn their spot on the field. All conferences gets at least their champion in but could get two more in with play in games

[Merit-Based College Football @MeritBasedCFB]

@SatReportCFB My Merit Based System has both. 24 teams qualify to the postseason. 16 team bracket. Incentives to schedule tough pre conference games. Every Saturday would matter. Its perfect https://t.co/hBBLhG0R36

If you’re too young to have seen Emmitt Smith’s career here’s some of what you missed.

Name another legend you miss watching play on Sundays. 👇

[Merit-Based College Football @MeritBasedCFB]

@On3 I have a solution for that. In fact I have a solution for all this CFB stuff..... https://t.co/hBBLhG0R36

@CFBStop24 @CFBKings My Merit Based set-up: These 8 Conferences 8 Champions = 8 auto bids seeded 1-8 Runner Ups and 3rd place teams play other conferences runner ups and 3rd place teams as play in games to determine seeds 9-16 16 team bracket is set Earn your way in - Play your way out #MeritBasedCFB

[Stop 24 @CFBStop24]

Greg Sankey asked the right question about CFP expansion: “Is there a cutoff line?” Going from 4 to 12 was already monumental. Doubling again before we’ve even finished year three of the 12-team era isn’t patience. It’s expansion for expansion’s sake. #Stop24
