Question For College Football Heads?

[KingsnBucs1987]

Why doesn't College Football have an Conference Showdown like College Basketball has? Everybody always talks about which conferences are the shyt, why don't they play it out on the field? Every year, 4 conferences would partake in it. For 2 weeks, have each conference battle it out for bragging rights.

Example Matchups:
Have Big 10/ACC
1. Michigan/Clemson
2. Ohio State/Florida State
3. Michigan State/Virginia Tech
4. Nebraska/Louisville
5. Penn State/Miami
6.Wisconsin/Notre Dame

Have Big 12/SEC
1. Baylor/Bama
2. Oklahoma/Auburn
3. Oklahoma State/South Carolina
4. Texas/LSU
5. West Virginia/Georgia
6.TCU/Missouri

Wouldn't match ups like these for the first 2 weeks of the season be better than some of the match ups we usually get during the early season? Thoughts?

Hold on there bruh. You trying to upset the system?

because some claim that their conference games are already hard enough so why play a tough OOC opponent....plus you get to see how good conferences/teams are once they've gone through a long season and play in the bowl game against each other

I'm stuck in my NCAA 2014 mode, being in the Coli's season shyt was fun as hell, especially with the fukkery @Rekkapryde @MMSex @SilkkTheStalker @Shugg Ross @Don Dada F Poppa all brought, could you imagine some of the shyt talking we'd get from @Ed MOTHERfukkING G and @AVXL if Michigan and Georgia played one year
I like seeing big schools go against each other and the fukkery this would bring would be and at the same time. nikkaz always talking about how one school would dog walk the other, this would make it be like bet bytch, see you in the challenge next year.

Hey, they still get 2 weeks to play against powerhouses like Bermuda Grande Tech and the juggernaut So Cal Poly Tech , I just wanna mix a lil fukkery into the equation

because you would essentially be giving up a home game every other year, and most colleges budget their football program on having 8 home games a year. Teams schedule weaker schools because they pay them to come play and there is never a return game.

Me personally i think it would be a good idea, you can essentially have a 2 week conference vs conference matchup. for example one week the SEC, plays the ACC, and the next the SEC plays the pac 12. you can rotate like that with every conference except the big east (American conference)

good luck w/ that....with the new playoff system, it's not really advantageous for big schools to play anymore unless they're in a shyt conference

1. Everyone wants the best shot at a National Championship. If you play a tough schedule already, it will be THAT much harder.

2. Doesn't make sense to have games far from your fan base that many times. Some schools travel well, but forcing your fan base to move outside of a geographic region too much, will be tough. They're having a hard enough time filling some stadiums.

3. It usually depends on the individual school who they agree to play. Schools want to be free to schedule who they want outside of their conference opponents. Too many of them will not agree to play some school on the other side of the country that will neither boost exposure for recruitment, and will not improve their OOC strength.

Thinking about it, maybe 3 is the primary reason.

I forgot about that shyt, big business ass schools , hell I'm sure they could make it up playing them at neutral field sites.

they do have those "kickoff games" that are played at neutral sites

bama vs michigan in jerry world

v tech vs bama in atlanta

lsu vs oregon

Thats basically what bowl week is

But you get the opportunity to shyt on another conference's best school. But jokes aside, wouldn't be a better way to build a resume for the selection committee seeing that a school not only ran through their conference, but also beat the best of another conference along the way?

I can see that with No.1, but wouldn't that make the prize taste that much sweeter, that you shat on a couple conference's best teams along the way to the title .

No.2 would be tough, I'm just thinking that with how conferences are expanding and you getting teams like Notre Dame joining the ACC and West Virginia joining the Big 12 and shyt, seems like traveling wouldn't be too bad. Or maybe cut it to the teams who you know that'll travel well.

No.3, I think this will help with national recruiting cause you'll get teams going out to places that they usually don't go to, so it could open up a potential pipeline for a school. Maybe Neutral site games would work if schools aren't trying to go play in another team's house. Big 10 could use some southern and west coast speed.

except that teams will be playing hard these games because the motivation is still to win the title or be in the playoffs.

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

I know, but I ain't trying to wait til the turn of the year to see that shyt and with the playoffs, nobody ain't gonna give a fukk about the Kraft Mac and Cheese Bowl pitting Big 10 No. 7 against Pac 10 No. 6, I just want top vs top matchups. At least this way, you're guaranteed to see teams face each other when they think that it's their year to win it all and they get a reality check and an ass whooping to go with it.

Teams schedule years in advanced. Schools would rather pick and choose themselves instead of almost being forced into playin someone. Losses in cbb don't even matter like that
