Really? It eliminates all these cupcake games. Notre Dame recovers their rivalry games against Michigan and Michigan State. Oklahoma and Texas are back in their division. It returns some of the tradition man. These conferences which is huge, MAKES SENSE.
F that. What the hell is the point? Is COLLEGE football over? They're just trying to kill everything I loved about college football, and turning it into everything I HATE about the NFL.
@@TheHollomapThere are currently 67 teams in the power 4. Add Notre Dame and it becomes 68 teams. That leaves two open spots that will have to be filled to get to the 70 teams. Does Boise have a legit chance of getting one of those two spots? IDK, but I’ve already heard either Oregon State and Washington State or USF and Tulane. Again, IDK.
This happened in European soccer and let’s just say a lot of the owners were forced to leave their clubs and fans were not happy about this super league that consisted 12 or 13 of the best teams in the world
It’s still college. If they don’t want an education, then they can go to the UFL or whatever non-NFL league will take them. A viable alternative to college is better for all involved.
Out of all the universities Notre Dame would get out of having to join or they can use the Independent Conference as being another conference. Most universities want to belong to a conference, and Notre Dame sport are playing a ACC conference schedules and football is half way there?
@@PanthersigmaDisagree, they’d flat out wind up. The schools likely won’t see football as profitable anymore and the costs of this new D2 would be too high.
All this does is take away from the ability of smaller programs to improve themselves. A program like UCF could never have the history like they have under this system. The only people who want this are fans of big schools. This is the death of college football.
i honestly like this a lot better than what we currently have. 1- Teams play in conferences that make geographical sense 2- Regional rivalries are maintained, appears to be potential for new rivalries to form 3- Teams are encouraged to schedule big games in the non conference rather than playing cupcakes Am i crazy for loving this plan ?
As a Notre Dame and CFB fan as a whole, I'm 100% here for this. I'd love to face Michigan every year to incorporate the rivalry again, as well as Ohio State and Michigan State (another rivalry). I dig this.
Say what you want about Ohio State but I've never seen a team storm the field after beating us like I have Alabama!!! I've seen it happen to Alabama a couple times, at least we whip up on the cupcakes we don't lose to them
The way I'd do is is I'd make four 18 team leagues, make the fist round of the playoffs the conference championship games. If they want to expand the playoffs maybe make eight 9 team leagues and still make the conference championship game the first round. Mostly I just want to eliminate rankings impacting the playoffs. Let the standings, not the rankings dictate who makes the playoffs
@@nordy259Boise is the most consistent and the power house of g5 should have been p4 so many times and now the stadium is selling out every game and Boise is getting bigger it should be enough to get in if it does happen years down the road
Hey Matt you want to rip Ohio state but look at who Alabama is playing in the second to last game. One reason Ohio state had a cup cake start was because this was the year Ohio state was suppose to play USC as a non conference game but had to rush and find a new opponent because they joined the big ten and all the big boys already had their schedule full
Don’t expect Bama fans to be reasonable & don’t try to reason with them. They exist completely divorced from reality, Bama never plays anyone non con & never schedule home & homes. They schedule “neutral site” games in Atlanta & then say northern & western schools r scared of them when we think that’s a dumb deal lol.
I don't see LSU giving up the Bama, Florida, Ole Miss, and Auburn games for Houston, TCU, SMU, Baylor, Okie State, and Texas Tech games the Nation is clamoring for. Also do you think there will be a League with Bama not with Tenn?
70 super league is definitely a terrible idea. I get that college football is a business but this idea is bad for business and will lose fans/audience.
It sounds like it just converts power from NCAAs hand to the new group. It would probably end up making CFB more money in all honesty. This would likely also be set up similar to the NFL I’m guessing and have more rules in place. I’d be more worried about how it will affect other sports or lower level schools. This group isn’t going to support sports that aren’t making money if they choose to expand past football. If the NCAA loses football, I also don’t necessarily know if they will continue to exist. This may lead to quite a few sports being cut.
@@Rochrikqv Yes, that group is the media moguls, they already have their tentacles deep in CFB, might as well let them shape the new league. What we have now is the Wild West since NCAA has been neutered. Some sort of major consolidation and governance is needed, whether it's just a P2 league or an all out P4 league. That being said, other sports that can't carry their weight need to be cut. It's not CFBs job to be their welfare check.
The change of scheduling (by that I mean the lack of games against GO5/FCS schools) looks good on paper but what happens to those smaller schools with Project Rudy because that’s how most of these schools get a lot of their money. Think about NIU getting about a million dollars or UTSA getting a million just to play Texas. Looks good on paper but could cause some major problems for the GO5/FCS schools.
Well he was talking about weak schedules so that's a easy one to go to that eveyone is familiar with due to eveyone wanting to see that expensive roster play in big games
@@iAmCLPN Yall defend this bs too often lol. Who has Texas played? Who has Tennessee played. Who has Miami played??? No smoke for them whatsoever but it's fuck ohio state because we spent 3-4 million more than everyone else

I just dont understand how you could possibly create a super league with the "most competitive schools" for football and then proceed to leave out the school that has the 6th career record in the sport.....
You'll have to be more specific ... what do you mean by "career record" and who is supposed to number 6 in that category. Schools don't have careers at all ... they have histories ... they have seasons ... they have traditions . How can you create a "career record" for an institution and what exactly is it supposed to consist of ?
@@Freedom_Half_Off he’s just saying the most consistently good g5 team that has a great winning percentage should definitely have a way into the new super conference
@@Freedom_Half_Off I mean the entire history of the program. Boise State has a career 0.724 winning percentage in the sport. These leagues that are being proposed keep leaving BSU out of them, which makes the criteria for joining the league completely suspect. BSU got hype primarily from the Chris Petersen era, when he went 92-12 and had a near 90% career win record , which is historically unheard of. The crazy part is, this isnt actually that great by historic Boise Standards. Its not just that BSU was good under Petersen, Petersen's is actually the 3rd most successful coach in BSU history. The reality is Boise State has excelled at football for a VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME. They hold currently the NCAA ALL Time record for consecutive winning seasons at 28 (by comparison the next P5 is at 22 and the next G5 is at 10). But perhaps more insane is that in the last 96 YEARS, they have only had 5 losing seasons EVER. So to me if your gonna claim this new super league is about competition it doesnt make any sense to leave out clearly one of the most prolific competitive programs to ever play the sport.
@@Willitidiot Not a way into - they need to be IN the conference. Otherwise wtf is the basis for taking certain programs but not others? Its like why is UCF in? Both BSU and UCF joined FBS Division 1 at the same time, but BSU has 266 MORE WINS over the last 29 years. I mean thats not even remotely close! You cannot claim that the league is about competitive ability to play the sport, when you have discrepancies like this.
I’ve been telling all my friends/co-workers over the past two years this is EXACTLY what’s going to happen. You are going to have 3-4 of the “super conferences” just tell the NCAA bye bye. You are no longer needed! The days of the NCAA having influence over sports will be over in the next 8-10 years, especially in football.
Getting rid of the NLI and replacing it with a Financial Aid & Scholarship Agreement will only work if there are financial penalties for conduct, transferring, or leaving for the NFL early, (basically anything other than graduating). These players could now be considered almost semi-pro given the monies being paid to enroll with a program, and being able to levy fines for conduct should definitely be included to curtail behavior detrimental to a school’s program.
B1G, Big 12, and ACC all play 9 conference games. Most of them also play a non-conference P4 opponent, a non-conference G5 opponent, and the third game is about 50% G5, 50% FCS. The entire SEC plays only 8 conference games, with every single one getting a november cupcake matchup. So, while literally every other P4 team is playing a conference game, or non-conference rivalry, the entire SEC is just stat-padding against freakin' Delaware St. If the SEC really wants to prove they're the best, play 9 conference games. There are currently 3 top 15 SEC teams that won't play each other, and all three could legitimately end with the same record and conference record (Ole Miss, Alabama, and Texas). An easy tiebreaker involves any two of those playing each other in a 9th conference game.
@officerdutchie Praying for grandma and your entire family to receive the healing, peace and comfort of GOD. #MattbeAblessing I pray GOD continues to bless you for touching others lives doing what you enjoy.
96 teams/schools works, and it's doable without sacrificing too much big time tradition. Benefits include punting out a lot of scrub schools that are better suited for fcs play anyway. 8 conferences of 12 teams. Easily do the math for bowl season. It's honestly not a terrible idea.
Honestly I’ve see so many SEC fans whining and complaining about the AP rankings I’m actually considering this idea. That way when schedule comes out nobody can complain
“It’s being talked about.” This is probably at MINIMUM 10 years from now. I’d personally say at minimum 20 to 25 years away. The Big Ten and SEC aren’t going to budge on who is the “top dog”. Combine that with the fact you need at least some division in sports and I just don’t see this happening any time soon. I’d be beyond surprised if it happened within 10-15 years from now let alone in the next 5-10.
I want to start off saying this. Matt, you do a great job bringing us news and your opinions from across college football. Most other channels tend to use content from other channels and just add a little of their own opinion. Especially those that have CU content. It gets boring and repetitive. However, you do a good job keeping it original. I know a lot of people like to joke about your name and get you going, but you do a great job. Thank you sir. I always look forward to hear your opinion even if I don’t agree all of the time. I especially like hearing your reviews of the games afterwards. Keep it up.
We all knew those were going to happen. Two super leagues (AFC/NFC) college football is officially NFL Jr. But I like it, BSU needs to join though, this will screw over the ground of 5 teams
I agree that the games are often meaningless, but there’s no feeling quite like when a team like NIU beats a team like Notre Dame. They become the darlings of CFB for a week and everyone loves them
Yes, I was very inclined to watch all of those games. Alabama is only played Georgia to this .0 I forgot Vanderbilt they got beat by a cupcake way to go Matt B bald
It’s coming. Just get ready. The other teams not in this league need to hurry up and create their own version. With there own national championship to play for the tv rights would definitely get picked up and they could keep there programs afloat.
Ironic they name the project after the biggest underdog movie in college football ... Then proceed to plan on shutting most of the underdog programs in college football out of the picture altogether 😏
This last round of “who wants a new conference” has killed college football for me. My team wasn’t a football factory, was never going to make the playoffs, nor ever be a national champion. So I quit being a fan. Done. For the first time in years I’m not attending a game. I have zero desire to support stupidity. Now this new behemoth thing is just utterly idiotic. It’s not even worth my effort to type a response. Hell, it can all go away now. Please?
Division map kind of sucked. Redo that and it could work. I would try to model it off classic leagues and go with 8 division (instead of 9) games. That way you can have 4 inter-division matchups.
I think the CFB Super League won’t actually make money because player and coach salaries will just rise with the profits. Fans in the domestic base will be turned off because it’s NFL 2.0 It may even hurt the NFL. Less teams means less avenues to find good players and less players get produced. Theres no transfer portal to feed the colleges either because FCS and G5 will likely just wind up.
MattbeDiddycoveredinbabyoil, so much content. I'm trying to keep up. Thanks for having a good sense of humor about people poking fun at you. I hope all the comments helped your channel grow. I'll keep watching, but I'm going back to the shadows. Thanks for making content, Matt.
In my opinion, the new league will have roughly thirty teams. The new league will be an acknowledged Professional League. Ties to Universities will likely remain, but the teams will be managed privately. The new league will not mandate that teams must utilize their associated College Stadiums and other facilities, but it will be likely that most teams will enter into a lease agreement for the stadium of their associated University. NCAA will not dictate the number of hours that an athlete may practice. In fact, the NCAA will not dictate anything. Players will not be mandated to attend their associated University, or any other Post Secondary Education. There will be no academic entry requirements for players. By rhe way, the NLI is no longer relevant. The top QB recruit in the class of 2026 has initiated litigation about NIL compensation before he enters college. The litigation questions why the HCAA prohibits High School athletes from receiving NIL compensation. For example, If a High School Athlete reaches an agreement with a specific Team concerning his Name, Image or Likeness,, and the Team decides to print jerseys bearing the Name of the Athlete, How can the NCAA prohibit the Athlete from being compensated for the use of his Name? I believe the Litigation will prove that the NCAA can not prohibit an Athlete from receiving compensation for the use of his Name, Image or Likeness. Of course, the Athlete will not be an Adult, and their Parent or Guardian will receive the Compensation in Trust. The Mantra will be "Student-Athlets no More". Athletes will be Professionals as soon as their Name, Image or Likeness becomes marketable.
It’s not that College Football is dead….but it is starting to smell funny. It’s Pro Football - has been for a while. The difference is the players caught on and wanna be paid.
This would be the death of college football.. it’s gotten bad so far but am I the only one that remembers when it was a power 6? Then 5 now it’s at 4.. which makes no sense when there’s more spots open in the playoffs
I mean current conferences, rivalry, and bowls mean nothing now. Might as well homogenize everyone so they all play the same games, have same schedules, championships etc etc. make everything the same so it’s easy to evaluate teams. We also needs to have team salary caps and positions maxes so players don’t just go to the team who pays them the most. It would also give college football all the leverage when negotiating tv deals as well. Let’s do it .
40 is more than enough, lose the cupcakes. expand regular season to maybe 15 games. I do however like UT's chances if the best team they would have to play in division was PSU lmao that would be really easy
Yeah 70 schools? F that. I'm a Memphis fan so I wouldn't get a SEC team to play? Memphis has averaged 2 SEC teams played every year since the 50s. This Rudy crap 💩 is a Disney idea. Yes, I watch football to enjoy a smaller school beating a rich boy college. I hate elite crap. Screw moneyball I'm a college football fan, not a greedy selfish player fan. So no Navy vs ND game. Saying Army, Navy, and Air Force are chump schools and not worthy of a chance to play for a championship is just sad to me. It slaps the playoff system right in the face. More than half the college fans are smaller school fans. So, losing half your viewers is good?
MattBeFreaky, I don’t like this idea one bit. It’s going to ruin college football forever. Between this and the current situation going on with the Transfer Portal and NIL, college football will turn into a semi pro league.
See what I would do is dropped some teams down to the group of 5 or even the fcs level and have 4 conferences and a team would be required to play 7 conference games and 3 games against the other conferences and 1 group of 5 game and 1 fcs game
I believe this is a good idea because a team like Ohio state playing cupcakes and getting ranked in top five wiggle teams like Florida winning more thank half there games and being in a gauntlet schedule and not even being ranked in the top 50
TERRIBLE Divisions!!! Ole Miss, Bama, Georgia, FSU, Florida, and Miami all in the same division!?!? You simply can't draw up divisions like this. You have to consider how many excellent programs are in one division. 70 teams are way too many anyway. To be honest even 64 is pushing it too far. There MIGHT be 50-60 worthy programs.
College football tradition and pageantry is dead. Screw all of this

B1G, Big 12, and ACC all play 9 conference games. Most of them also play a non-conference P4 opponent, a non-conference G5 opponent, and the third game is about 50% G5, 50% FCS. The entire SEC plays only 8 conference games, with every single one getting a november cupcake matchup. So, while literally every other P4 team is playing a conference game, or non-conference rivalry, the entire SEC is just stat-padding against freakin' Delaware St. If the SEC really wants to prove they're the best, play 9 conference games. There are currently 3 top 15 SEC teams that won't play each other, and all three could legitimately end with the same record and conference record (Ole Miss, Alabama, and Texas). An easy tiebreaker involves any two of those playing each other in a 9th conference game.

96 teams/schools works, and it's doable without sacrificing too much big time tradition. Benefits include punting out a lot of scrub schools that are better suited for fcs play anyway. 8 conferences of 12 teams. Easily do the math for bowl season. It's honestly not a terrible idea.
Honestly I’ve see so many SEC fans whining and complaining about the AP rankings I’m actually considering this idea. That way when schedule comes out nobody can complain
D2, D3, and NAIA will be the best option for old school college football. Will those left out of this new league combine with the FCS?
“It’s being talked about.” This is probably at MINIMUM 10 years from now. I’d personally say at minimum 20 to 25 years away. The Big Ten and SEC aren’t going to budge on who is the “top dog”. Combine that with the fact you need at least some division in sports and I just don’t see this happening any time soon. I’d be beyond surprised if it happened within 10-15 years from now let alone in the next 5-10.
I want to start off saying this. Matt, you do a great job bringing us news and your opinions from across college football. Most other channels tend to use content from other channels and just add a little of their own opinion. Especially those that have CU content. It gets boring and repetitive. However, you do a good job keeping it original. I know a lot of people like to joke about your name and get you going, but you do a great job. Thank you sir. I always look forward to hear your opinion even if I don’t agree all of the time. I especially like hearing your reviews of the games afterwards. Keep it up.
We all knew those were going to happen. Two super leagues (AFC/NFC) college football is officially NFL Jr. But I like it, BSU needs to join though, this will screw over the ground of 5 teams
Rich Eisen's been saying for years college football is going to a superleague.
I agree that the games are often meaningless, but there’s no feeling quite like when a team like NIU beats a team like Notre Dame. They become the darlings of CFB for a week and everyone loves them
Of course Matt love this idea 🤦🏽♂️
Yes, I was very inclined to watch all of those games. Alabama is only played Georgia to this .0 I forgot Vanderbilt they got beat by a cupcake way to go Matt B bald
It’s coming. Just get ready. The other teams not in this league need to hurry up and create their own version. With there own national championship to play for the tv rights would definitely get picked up and they could keep there programs afloat.
Ironic they name the project after the biggest underdog movie in college football ...
Then proceed to plan on shutting most of the underdog programs in college football out of the picture altogether 😏
This last round of “who wants a new conference” has killed college football for me. My team wasn’t a football factory, was never going to make the playoffs, nor ever be a national champion. So I quit being a fan. Done. For the first time in years I’m not attending a game. I have zero desire to support stupidity.
Now this new behemoth thing is just utterly idiotic. It’s not even worth my effort to type a response. Hell, it can all go away now. Please?
Why would the Florida schools play Georgia but not Georgia Tech they’re LITERALLY in the same region and border each other geographically
10:58 I'm still flabbergasted.
Division map kind of sucked. Redo that and it could work. I would try to model it off classic leagues and go with 8 division (instead of 9) games. That way you can have 4 inter-division matchups.
Might as well enjoy the last few years of college football. I left the nfl for this.....
I think the CFB Super League won’t actually make money because player and coach salaries will just rise with the profits. Fans in the domestic base will be turned off because it’s NFL 2.0
It may even hurt the NFL. Less teams means less avenues to find good players and less players get produced. Theres no transfer portal to feed the colleges either because FCS and G5 will likely just wind up.
Wouldn’t this kill smaller fbs conferences like MAC and CUSA if every big school is just playing each other?
If a 70 team super league becomes a thing I’ll probably stop watching tithe sport outside of my Buckeyes.
From the screen to the ring to the bling to the king🫠😏
Those FCS schools and lower tier teams will lose so much money from not playing the “big” schools.
MattbeDiddycoveredinbabyoil, so much content. I'm trying to keep up. Thanks for having a good sense of humor about people poking fun at you. I hope all the comments helped your channel grow. I'll keep watching, but I'm going back to the shadows. Thanks for making content, Matt.
In my opinion, the new league will have roughly thirty teams. The new league will be an acknowledged Professional League. Ties to Universities will likely remain, but the teams will be managed privately. The new league will not mandate that teams must utilize their associated College Stadiums and other facilities, but it will be likely that most teams will enter into a lease agreement for the stadium of their associated University. NCAA will not dictate the number of hours that an athlete may practice. In fact, the NCAA will not dictate anything. Players will not be mandated to attend their associated University, or any other Post Secondary Education. There will be no academic entry requirements for players. By rhe way, the NLI is no longer relevant. The top QB recruit in the class of 2026 has initiated litigation about NIL compensation before he enters college. The litigation questions why the HCAA prohibits High School athletes from receiving NIL compensation. For example, If a High School Athlete reaches an agreement with a specific Team concerning his Name, Image or Likeness,, and the Team decides to print jerseys bearing the Name of the Athlete, How can the NCAA prohibit the Athlete from being compensated for the use of his Name? I believe the Litigation will prove that the NCAA can not prohibit an Athlete from receiving compensation for the use of his Name, Image or Likeness. Of course, the Athlete will not be an Adult, and their Parent or Guardian will receive the Compensation in Trust. The Mantra will be "Student-Athlets no More". Athletes will be Professionals as soon as their Name, Image or Likeness becomes marketable.
It’s not that College Football is dead….but it is starting to smell funny.
It’s Pro Football - has been for a while. The difference is the players caught on and wanna be paid.
Kinda figured that a super league is being talked about considering the big two sec and the big ten are having talks about schedule
Syracuse ad of sports is on the committee that pitching this idea matt
This would be the death of college football.. it’s gotten bad so far but am I the only one that remembers when it was a power 6? Then 5 now it’s at 4.. which makes no sense when there’s more spots open in the playoffs
Colleges aren’t gonna let a third party get power and money over them
It’s not 70…. It’s actually 72. Boise State and Wyoming are included. For whatever reason, your graphic implies that they’re not a part of it.
I mean current conferences, rivalry, and bowls mean nothing now. Might as well homogenize everyone so they all play the same games, have same schedules, championships etc etc. make everything the same so it’s easy to evaluate teams. We also needs to have team salary caps and positions maxes so players don’t just go to the team who pays them the most. It would also give college football all the leverage when negotiating tv deals as well. Let’s do it .
College football as we new it 1869-2024 RIP
70 is way too much however it is time to separate college football from college. These men don't need to be wasting time going to class.
40 is more than enough, lose the cupcakes. expand regular season to maybe 15 games. I do however like UT's chances if the best team they would have to play in division was PSU lmao that would be really easy
Yeah 70 schools? F that. I'm a Memphis fan so I wouldn't get a SEC team to play? Memphis has averaged 2 SEC teams played every year since the 50s. This Rudy crap 💩 is a Disney idea. Yes, I watch football to enjoy a smaller school beating a rich boy college. I hate elite crap. Screw moneyball I'm a college football fan, not a greedy selfish player fan. So no Navy vs ND game. Saying Army, Navy, and Air Force are chump schools and not worthy of a chance to play for a championship is just sad to me. It slaps the playoff system right in the face. More than half the college fans are smaller school fans. So, losing half your viewers is good?
MattBeFreaky, I don’t like this idea one bit. It’s going to ruin college football forever. Between this and the current situation going on with the Transfer Portal and NIL, college football will turn into a semi pro league.
dont you wish we could go back to when penn st was independant and nebraska wasnt in big ten. conference meant something
See what I would do is dropped some teams down to the group of 5 or even the fcs level and have 4 conferences and a team would be required to play 7 conference games and 3 games against the other conferences and 1 group of 5 game and 1 fcs game
Sooooo what happens to programs like Mercer or Marshal?????? Those small teams need funding.
This is an absolutely horrendous idea and will kill what makes College Football special
I believe this is a good idea because a team like Ohio state playing cupcakes and getting ranked in top five wiggle teams like Florida winning more thank half there games and being in a gauntlet schedule and not even being ranked in the top 50
College football and disney are already associated....ESPN is owned by disney sir
Looks like this will do away with traditional rivalries like Florida-Florida State and Clemson- South Carolina...so that's a no for me
I Matt love your vids! I want to say I think your stand on becoming you know, top comment
Well, at least they're honest...it's all about money.
Ohio State never plays anybody. Hell, the whiners got into the playoff without even playing a full season. The "slow" kid of college football.
9:39 I find it funny how Ohio, Georgia, and South Carolina are segregated.
Bro always brings up Ohio state like Miami Tennessee or ole miss had played anyone 😂
NO SHOT LSU and Tenn. aren't in the same division as the Alabama/Ole Miss/UGA division
TERRIBLE Divisions!!! Ole Miss, Bama, Georgia, FSU, Florida, and Miami all in the same division!?!? You simply can't draw up divisions like this. You have to consider how many excellent programs are in one division. 70 teams are way too many anyway. To be honest even 64 is pushing it too far. There MIGHT be 50-60 worthy programs.
Reincarnation of the PAC 10, and the SWC (minus Rice and Arkansas)
