~ AAFL = “American Athletic Football League”

~ AAFL = AAC + MW + Army + BYU + WSU(football!) = 27 teams

~ This is a football only, NCAA approved, FBS 3 X 9 league that uses, yes, relegation, to determine which 9 teams are in AAFL Red Conference, which 9 in White Conference, and which 9 in Blue Conference per each season.

~ Clauses in contract that allows AAC, MW, Army and BYU to drop out should reasonable things like major FBS realignment occur and other things they would hash out. AAC and MW would still be seperate conference entities other than this agreed to FBS college football League.

~ This (football-only) joint TV contract would be MUCH better for these 27 teams than had this not formed...yes, including after pie splitting because the pie splitting only goes up by 3 to 27 instead of pie splitting between 12 X 2 (=24) teams.

~ We’d have a 4 team AAFL playoff to determine who goes to our very own contracted NYD bowl (so now 7 NYD bowls).

~ AAFL 4 team League Playoff would consist of 3 regular season conference champs from Red, White and Blue Conferences + 1 wildcard

I used a completely non-biased method, similar to what our AAFL Committee would have used, to determine what this season’s AAFL conferences would have been...

Lot of time on your hands, eh?

what is the benefit of this? we already have a guaranteed "access bowl" to fight over, don't need a 7th. if this convoluted mess doesn't end in an automatic playoff berth then what is the point.

The Red Conference SOS is as strong as any P5 conference not named SEC. We would have a chance to be in the CFPlayoff, where now we have ZERO chance.

when would the conference makeup be decided? because our programs are prone to falling off because we rely on developing players and aren't bringing in a lot of ready made recruits. you decide this in advance of on the field results and it's not as tough SOS wise as it could be. e.g., temple was expected to be good pre-season and nothing was expected of cincy, but they've basically swapped. and teams like hawaii and army would be left out of the red when they're better than some of the teams there like memphis and navy. so i don't agree that the red's SOS is as strong as any non-SEC conference.

Houston says thanks bu no thanks, not interested.

But for conversation purposes let me dive in - Hehe

Yikes... That division Cincinnati is in doesn't look sexy at all... If i am them I too would in that division... I think at that point it only forces the Independent mentality moving forward for Cincinnati.

Yeah, Bearcats would be 4th, maybe 3rd, best in the White Conf. Pretty much their place in the aac east this year. The White is pretty much equal to aac and mw on an average year. The White regular season champ would usually be seeded 2nd or 3rd (behind wildcard, usually from Red) in the AAFL playoffs.

So if Cincinnati had a stellar season this season, they might bump a Red team down to White for next season.

It would be decided not too long after the last bowl game. My method makes a great Red Conference that rivals most P5 conferences/divisions, nice White, and a development type Blue, per each given season.
