If we have learned anything this year from the Ohio State debacle its that the College Football Playoffs are just as ineffective as the BCS ever was. As I sat here trying to think of how to tinker around with fixing the playoffs I realized maybe its time to just rip the band aid off and fix college sports. As a cohesive, unified front, with strategic expansion, college sports could compete and someday surpass the interest in professional sports. In order for this to happen three things need to happen:

II. DIVISIONS In sports I believe strongly that location/proximity to another school is the reason for 90% of all rivalries. In making the divisions I wanted to achieve a few goals.

1. Don’t break up states unless I had to.

-Only the state of North Carolina was broken up. Sorry Wake Forest.

2. Try to have each division self contained with no overlapping territory.

– Achieved

3. I wanted them to all share a similar cultural and/or geographical feel.

– I believe I achieved this. The only one that could be a stretch is the Northeast Division, but I would argue it is a coastal, or even a Colonial division.
