How to Fix the Regular Season: A Scheduling Model

📅The NFL scheduling model, where division winners play each other the following year, can be adapted to college football.

🤝The proposed scheduling model requires conference champions to play each other to determine conference supremacy.

🏈Nine conference games and three non-conference games would be played each season.

🔀Non-conference opponents would be selected based on the previous year's rankings to ensure comparable matchups.

🏆The proposed scheduling model would give a better understanding of the strength of each conference and which teams truly deserve the non-conference spots.

—Yes, Notre Dame would be required to join one of the Power 5 conferences and follow the same scheduling model.

Who would make the schedule?

How would non-conference opponents be selected?

—Non-conference opponents would be selected based on the previous year's rankings to ensure comparable matchups.

What are the benefits of this scheduling model?
