Where I think your UCF example is falling short is if they were in South Division B in year 1 they are very likely not going 0-12. Further in year 2 they aren't going 6-7 in Division B they are probably going undefeated.

Third they wouldn't start in Division B anyways as it would use a 4 year historical average of team ranking for selection whereby UCF's 2013 season probably makes the cut to put them in Division A plus overall higher rankings as a member of the AAC.

So forget UCF, let's say some random Division B team goes undefeated and has a couple of good wins (maybe ranked, maybe not idk) in non-conference... now they're the highest rated G5 team because no Division A team is undefeated.

If it's a 4 year average a spectacular once-in-a-lifetime season like that might not be enough for them to get promoted, they don't get to play in a major bowl, they probably lose their coach after that season to a Division A or P5 team, and as a Division B school they're less likely to be able to attract a coach that can sustain the success.

Also, how would Division A and B work for basketball? Could you be a Division A football team but a Division B basketball team? Would non-football schools be included in this 3 region Division A and B structure for basketball?

I love the 3 NY6 bowl bids btw.
