The difference between myself and other proposals of this ilk is I will actually be simulating the season under the following arrangement as opposed to just throwing out hypotheticals with recency bias.
Premier League - Top 22 all time winning percentage, two divisions of eleven arranged geographically. Division winners meet for the overall championship. Bottom two teams in each division are relegated.
Championships - Rest of the power 5 arranged into four groups of eleven with Rutgers swapped out for Boise State. Arranged geographically. Group winners are promoted, bottom two teams relegated.
Conferences - Rest of FBS with FCS teams added to make up the numbers. Eight groups of nine. Group winners promoted.
Geographic arrangement was done longitudinally. I admit the geographic names don't make total sense. Any quibble over how the teams have been arranged should be resolved by the results throughout this season and subsequent seasons.
Single round-robin format. Realignment by geography after each season. Massey Predictor used for game results.
