Just sayin':I think Corn would willingly go, and their fans would be thrilled, thinking that they'd dominate the B12. Can't see anyone else going without a fight though.
and TTUN...Just sayin': There needs to be an asterisk.
Indiana's Curt Cignetti w/shots fired at SEC: "We don't run a hype machine up here in the Midwest. We believe everything is earned, not given. When we fall short, we say we fall short. When we don't win, we don't cry a river. We don't whine & complain.* That's why we're the best."
* except (of course) for Penn State.

I think Corn would willingly go, and their fans would be thrilled, thinking that they'd dominate the B12. Can't see anyone else going without a fight though.Just sayin': Yeah, you gave a good case why that would be so difficult that it probably will never happen. The B1G and SEC would never agree to give up their TV contract advantage over the BIG XII and ACC. If you tried to trim the B1G to 16 teams; you couldn't get 2 teams to volunteer to go to another conference like the BIG XII or ACC that gives out lesser TV money. These schools would sue the conferences and/or the NCAA. In addition, fans and alumni wouldn't be happy as many "traditional rivaries" would be lost.
Just sayin': The conference championship games bring in a lot of TV money, and it is nice to have a definitive conference champion. Notre Dame shouldn't get a pass; maybe there should be a CFP Committee policy when ranking teams 1) give bonus consideration to any team for a conference championship game win and 2) not count a conference championship game loss against any team.Why should the Big Ten and the SEC force an extra game on their two best teams, and why should Notre Dame get a pass?
Why should the Big Ten and the SEC force an extra game on their two best teams, and why should Notre Dame get a pass?Just sayin': I'd rather keep the B1GCG, freeze the CFPs at 16 teams (or less).
Just sayin': There needs to be an asterisk.

Just sayin': Apparently they have been around for a few years now.
16 teams is the ideal max that I've laid out before.
-No bye week bullshit.
-No Conference Champ games either, unless it can be fit in extra as in starting the schedule a week earlier.
-Eliminate one of the "preseason" games.
-Play 10 conference games, for every conference.
-First 2 rounds on campus. Then major bowl locations for the rest.
Keep money in the communities as long as possible. The corporations are fucking up a great sport.
Well the hardest part to making it perfect would be realignment again and 4 conferences of 16 teams each. Let's face it NIL has made this a professional sport and there's money everywhere. Yet there are teams in, I'll call it by is old moniker, Division 1A, that do not stand a snowballs chance in hell of ever reaching a final let alone winning one.
So the new 1A becomes a 64 team league, 16 make the playoff, which will still be the same teams every year, right? A few stragglers will show up from time to time of course. The rest are in Division 1B. The MAC, WAC, SUN BELT etc. whom are also going to be able to benefit from NIL as well, if they run the business correctly.
Now for the kicker: the worst team from each of the 4 conferences gets relegated each February and the best 4 from the 1B lot move up. Gone would be the days of terrible athletic departments being the annual conferences doormats, but still getting to share the conferences bounty which they never contribute to. You suck too bad this year? Adios. Maybe next year. And, hey fresh blood once in awhile keeps things interesting.
Obviously 1A is the NFL minor leagues at this point let's not kid ourselves and football would have to separate from the other sports due to the relegation rule but so what? Doesn't mean they lose school affiliation so fans and alumni don't have to switch allegiance, that would be brutal.
TV rights, conferences payouts and the possible school issues are still going to exist.
Now these are just the lunatic rumblings of a fringe fanatic that lives for college football and all things Buckeyes so there's a whole crap load of T's and I's that the nerds would have to sort out but you get the picture I think? (FYI this rambling and napkin spitballing should all be read in Jack Burtons voice for posterity)

Five-Star QB Christopher Vargas Sets Commitment Date with Ohio State Favored
Five-star quarterback Christopher Vargas will announce his college decision on Saturday with Ohio State viewed as the favorite to land the No. 6 overall prospect in the 2028 class.www.elevenwarriors.com
Five-Star QB Christopher Vargas Sets Commitment Date with Ohio State Favored
One of Ohio State's top 2028 recruiting targets has set his commitment date.
Five-star quarterback Christopher Vargas told On3's Hayes Fawcett on Monday that he will announce his college decision on Saturday. Ohio State is widely viewed as the favorite to land the 6-foot-4 signal caller, with On3's Steve Wiltfong, Chad Simmons and Adam Gorney all predicting he'll commit to the Buckeyes this weekend.
Ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 6 overall prospect in the 2028 class, Vargas visited Ohio State this summer for the Buckeyes' 7-on-7 tournament and one of the program's prospect camps. He told Eleven Warriors that Ohio State has been one of his top schools since receiving an offer from the Buckeyes in November 2024.
"I've been building relationships with them for probably two years or three years now," Vargas said of Ohio State's coaches. "It's been great."
Vargas also said he would love to play for Ryan Day, calling the Ohio State head coach a "QB developer" who helped players such as Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud reach the NFL. Vargas said he models his game after Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft and the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year that fall.
"He just has the same playstyle as me, I think," Vargas said. "Him and (Green Bay Packers quarterback) Jordan Love have the same playstyle as me, so I like to watch film and learn from them."
As a sophomore in 2025, Vargas threw for 2,083 yards, 24 touchdowns and three interceptions, improving on a freshman campaign in which he passed for 1,311 yards, 17 touchdowns and three interceptions.
Along with Ohio State, Vargas holds 20 Division I offers, including Power Four offers from Oregon, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Michigan.
WahhhhhhhhhhIt hasn't been below 95 degrees here, I'm talking overnight lows, for over a week. Yesterday at 330am as I was going to work it was 101.
Remember when the Big Ten tried to tell its school to play at least one Power 5 (now 4, I'm sure) school per year? How long did that "rule" last?ND-USC rivalry renewed; IU nixes series vs. Irish
Notre Dame's reunion with USC, however, also will coincide with the departure of defending national champion Indiana from the Fighting Irish's future schedules, sources told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
In 2021, Notre Dame and Indiana announced a home-and-home series with the Hoosiers opening the 2030 season at Notre Dame, the slot USC will now fill. Notre Dame was set to visit Indiana in late September 2031. But both games will not be played, at Indiana's request, a source told Rittenberg. The desire to get USC back on the schedule in early-season slots drove the shuffling, along with Indiana's philosophy toward nonconference scheduling.

Indiana's scheduling approach has avoided Power 4 opponents, as the school in 2023 withdrew from the final two games of a series against Louisville, and then in 2025 canceled a home-and-home series against Virginia. The Hoosiers' College Football Playoff teams in 2024 and 2025 did not play any Power 4 opponents from outside the Big Ten during the regular season.
Notre Dame had been the only major nonleague opponent on Indiana's schedule, which is filled through 2029. Coach Curt Cignetti has said Indiana is focused on its nine Big Ten games per year, and athletic director Scott Dolson has said the school's approach will remain flexible depending on the size and format of the CFP.
