Doesn’t the English Premier League (soccer) have a system where you are placed in an upper or lower echelon of the league based on your record at the end of the season? The NCAA should do the same. Upper echelon teams should have to play the majority of their schedule (9-10 out of 12 games) against other upper echelon opponents.
College football has become a system where there are a few perennial powerhouses, a few second tier teams and a whole lot of “never going to happens”.
Yes, and IIRC so do most of the countries on the Euro mainland to, and even Mexico. Baseball blew an opportunity when leagues were first starting out right after the WBTS to establish such a system (imagine the Bronx Bombers in a top flight or relegation-avoidance duel with Billings, MT).

I say the system is rigged for SEC to win every year. It is perhaps time for all Western U.S. Conferences to separate from NCAA and form our own alliance so that the SEC can be disregarded. Then every year * WE * can celebrate a football title. The SEC can go kick rocks.
The Championship Trophy can be called the Western Cup.
