Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1379804, member: 2141"] I agree that 12, 16, or 20 works and those in between does not with conferences for football going to 'pods' for 16 and 20 teams. For a 20 team football conference, there would be 4 pods of 5 teams each. Thoughts on this type of a schedule? 1 games against each pod member = 4 games 1 game against a team from the other three pods on a rotating basis = 3 games 2 playoff games - top 8 teams are seeded and play quarterfinal & semi-final games at home of higher seed, other 12 teams are 1 home & 1 away game during same period = 2 games 1 Conference championship game at a neutral site = 1 game (optional) 2 or 3 non-conference games scheduled by individual schools = 2 or 3 Total games = 11 to 13. Having TBD games is somewhat of a hassle and potential a revenue concern for some schools; but, if a school plays well, it gets 2 home playoff games. NY State HS football does this and it seems to work well. [/QUOTE]
