    it works in div 1a b/c there are weeks between the end of season & bowls/playoff. all those last week games that get planned on the fly between league opp's that also don't count toward the league standings for the season but oh by the way they can help/hurt your playoff chances - this is stupid. you know what makes perfect sense? a ten team league where you play everybody & crown a legitimate champion. d1a's deal with the devil is for tv $. there is no trade off for d2.

    all you have to do is wait. someone(s) will leave it's inevitable.

    Right there with you on not knowing if it would be a blessing or a burden. .


    I dislike cc games. It leaves the last week full of empty stadiums because people can't plan to attend ahead of time when they have no idea where or who they are playing.

    That would make everyone have a different week off. That makes scheduling noncons a lot tougher.

    If you already played that opponent during the regular season in crossover games, you can swap whichever way you wish, except 1 v 1 where you get the conference champ, which may be a rematch.

    Any expansion should lead to division and a conference championship game. The silo is boring and played out.

    that's absurd.

    silo is preferable to this option.

    most years any league is not going to produce a nc including ours. but every yr there is a league champ & having something legitimate to play for is important.

    the honks running this league are like politicians. every idea is worse than the last. cue the excuses.

    I like 10, but you constantly run the risk of becoming the gliac overnight. Then it's all scrambling around for games or playing each other multiple times.

    Most of the 10 member years had 3 guaranteed bottom feeders every year and 1 or 2 more that were likely to end up that way. The conference is stronger now, imo. Even with Lincoln and NSU.

    i assume there will be no ccg(? - b/c when would they play it?) so we'll have a diminished cc. sounds dreamy.
