I'll play but I'm working full time now so I'm probably going to forget to set my roster more than once.

UVA won't play at Boston College until 2024 giving them a healthy 14 years between trips there. VT won't play at Louisville until at least 2025(if that) which is crazy. You can basically pay off a house in the time it takes to play a cross-divisional home/away in the ACC now.

Stuff like this is why I don't think that 16 team megaconferences really will be the long term solution for college athletics. 10-12 is much more manageable. 10 is perfect for round robin and playing everybody every year, and with 12 you still can play at least twice every four years and every player will play at least once in every stadium in the conference.

Every year put every team into a random number generator and fill out equal number of teams into random conferences. Winner of each new random team conference goes into playoffs. That way everyone can play everyone forever

The SEC won't go to 9 games because then they'd have to ditch their late season cupcake/bye. Though they'd, the ACC, and the Big 10 would have to go to 10 conference games to get a home game in every stadium every four years (6 division games + 1 permanent rival every year, then play 3 of 6 cross division teams every year, alternating either every year or every other year). 10 conference games would be tough to sell, especially for teams with non-conference rivalry games.

Allow two neutral site ooc games against power 5 teams, randomly selected at the beginning of the season. One in Week 0/1, one in week 6/7. Allow three ooc midmajor games, two at home and one away. Then do 9 conference games. More football would be fun.

So what I'm understanding is that the SEC won't change because old Bama fans will cry when they don't get to play their "rivals" every year
