I don’t see the big gripe.

I much prefer conferences/rivalries be geographical instead of the actual horseshite going on.

why did you split up Clemson & South Carolina?
why did you split up Miami & Fla. State?
where are UNC & SMU?

What rivalries are you talking about?

IDK, just spit-balling since there are no theoretical schedules, but looking at Tennessee and Kentucky for example, they'd play what, at most three traditional SEC teams per season, if that?

(I realize you said they could move, I mean more in terms of splitting up traditional conference foes.)

Also been a proponent of something similar to this BTW, just always envisioned a 4x16 (64-team) model with wildcards.

First of all, I didn't split anyone up. This is not my idea of how it should be divided, a computer sorted out the divisions based on geographical location.

Rivalries would be maintained by using a lottery slot or would automatically happen with rotation scheduling, freeing up the lottery spot for an additional randomized game.

Second of all, I messed up and forgot both it seems. I was just copying off a list of P5 teams. SMU wasn't on it and I straight up forgot UNC.

Those are minor adjustments. The overall idea is what I'm trying to get through.

Then why does the subject of your post read **I** accidentally created.

Whose in charge here you or your computer program, seems pretty dishonest to word it like that

True, I guess 4 would be the unlikely. There would be a few teams in that situation, but you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet I suppose. Minnesota, Colorado, Texas Tech, Mizzou, etc.

Most of them would be able to maintain regular play with their traditional rivals/opponents

Because, I created a formula from scratch to generate the list. I used a tool. You don't tell people that your car drove you to work or your pencil wrote your name. You say, "I drove to work" or "I wrote my name".

I certainly could've said I "generated" it.

I am not the one on trial here first of all.

Second you were the person who started all this when you chose to make your post and mislead the Rant about how it was actually produced

That is why I say that I am not on trial here it is your scheme for CFB That

M,

I feel like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what I did or how computers work.

Still not really sure how I’ve mislead anyone. You’re getting hung up on a weird detail.

I generated a list from scratch, and then I created a schedule format that works with said list as I saw fit.

This isn't my wheelhouse, but profits and money distribution can be done in a lot of ways, but I'm in favor of a system that rewards the players and programs for winning and investing time and resources to be better. Reward teams based on wins and contribution to the overall product. Bonuses to players, coaches, and programs for making the playoffs and winning championships etc.
