NCAA Football 13: Super Conferences
By Joe Buettner
Eventually, college football will have to succumb to our ways. It took us fans over 100 years to finally get a playoff, but with conference expansion progressing, maybe super conferences will happen quicker.
In the time being, NCAA Football 13 is as close as we’re getting to super conferences. With custom conferences, you can re-align college football any way you want. Do you want to form the old Southwest? No problem. Do you want to force Notre Dame to drop their independence? It can do that, too.
However, in my perfect world, this is how I would re-align college football. Four sixteen-team conferences: north, south, east, west. And if NCAA 13 allowed me to do a playoff, I would have North vs. South and East vs. West in the semifinal round. However, custom conferences allows you to only control bowl tie-ins, and you can not change the actual BCS bowls.
So if it were up to me, this is how I would re-align. And remember this is strictly one Sooner fan’s opinion.
