Idea. You do the same thing but a stair step frame. Ex you have to win the Sun to have a shot at a team in the ACC and you have to win that conference to have a shot at the top dogs like the SEC. And the best two teams in the SEC play for the National Championship
Once the NCAA series is released, your channel is going to have a surge. I imagine you are waiting in anticipation. I rarely comment on videos, but this channel’s continuous ideas and consistency deserve one. Excellent job, NTE.
I appreciate your optimism but I am thoroughly convinced that the game will be complete money scumming trash and not worth playing. I hope I’m wrong obviously
@@allthingsgaming6 doesn't matter how bad of a game they give us...the nostalgia will make the game do very well regardless and with the delays I'm hoping they're using this time to make us a great game
Theoretically I would love to see this in CFB because I’ve become a huge Premier League fan in the past couple months. However, it would only exacerbate the NIL, recruiting, and transfer portal issues plaguing the sport now.
Prom/Rel can work in college football with a multi year system. No way a 1 bad season system would work for the reasons he listed but if the media rights were more for the conference instead of the teams it wouldn't plus I imagine that any smart conference would negotiate a deal to have them also cover G5 conference to ensure that fan base stays watching. I think a system that covers every 4 years would work out nicely cause then your total record over those seasons would more accurate. I imagine FSU went down cause they had a senior heavy team and everyone got drafted or graduated and it would suck as a freshman coming to what you thought was a national title competing team and end up in a G5 conf. Also over 4 years you know you are bad. If you finish at the bottom 2 or 3 seasons in a row you most likely aren't competing anyways and are dragging down competition which prom/rel is designed to ensure the best play the best on a consistent basis while also being somewhat close in talent.
It’s a good idea don’t get me wrong but it dosent make since like he uses Vanderbilt as a example but they are not good at football but they are amazing at baseball and I think basketball do good where they can’t go to one of those small conferences because they would go undefeated
@@NeverwascooL I think it would be awesome in real life and would make the game more interesting. The thing that I am unsure of is what about the other sports? Vanderbilt is an elite baseball program but are terrible at football. I can’t remember if you can be in different conferences for different sports or not. It’s something you have to think about because if Vanderbilt was stuck playing baseball in the sunbelt they would dominate. Although I believe that the baseball program would be able to stay in the SEC but I’m not 100% sure
It’s super interesting how this became similar to the English Football league system, with a lot of “yo-yo” clubs who seem to go up almost every year and down, big teams struggling as soon as they go down…super interesting and fun!
i agree but it adds some unintended consequences. ik this is on college but imo for nba/nfl worst in every division (unless last in division makes playoffs) forfeits their pick to a randomly selected division opponent
I do this already in my current dynasty mode. I never thought of doing the "relegation game" though. I just swap out first and last place each season. It's been a blast to see teams rise and see which power 5 teams get stuck in the basement.
I have a league like this on NCAA been playing for years. Worked my way up with several teams from the Sun Belt to the SEC. SEC champ went to the sole Independent spot, kept it if they won the Natty the next year. Needed an excel document to keep track of it all. Awesome to see the idea's got legs, NTE.
As a WVU fan it’s pain. Losing both national championships to the 2 teams you lost 2 national championships to in real life in the same order in nearly the same amount of time.
Bro, I watched this with the biggest smile on my face! Such a fascinating concept and would add HUGE entertainment value to the sport. Every game would count and bowl games would be interesting again. You killed it with this video! I so wish this would happen in real life.
These kinds of simulations are so much fun to watch. I play dynasty sim leagues with 6 power conferences and 4 non-power conferences, which ends up with some strange but hilarious results (e.g FIU went from the SBC > B1G and won the conference the next year). So glad to see these kids of videos, and I only hope that you had as much fun making it as I did watching it.
8:01 Back to the CUSA lol. Just hearing that brings back the best memories of my life going with my grandpa to Southern Miss games back when TCU, Louisville, Cimcinatti, Army, Tulane, ECU, Houston, Memphis, and UAB, back during the early days of the CUSA. Back before all the decent team left, (other than Southern Miss), and it slowly turned into what it is today. Like it broke my heart seeing what Southern Miss started slowly turning into as the Conference got worse. Like Southern Miss used to always be that small that you had to wait our for cause they were more than capable of coming to your school and beating the "Big teams", just ask FSU, Bama and especially Bear Bryant (Southern beat them on his last home game as well), and all the other big tea,s they beat a good many times back then Though it’s the Sun Belt, I’m just glad we left that damn CUSA finally, though I wish they’d just go independent tbh.
Got bored with my dynasties and have been using this method for awhile. It’s really interesting to see how the teams fair over time. Making the independents the bottom tier is the way to go.
I’m a k-state fan and when you simulated a game with KU instead of us and relegated us when the chicken hawks lost I was a little upset. Good video though.
Man a series where this was implemented would be cool sometime long down the road. A terrible team having to fight up to the next division through relegation and promotions and eventually make it to the top of the Power 5 would be really cool. Maybe sometime in the future! haha Great video Drewski!
You know the video is immersive when as an Iowa fan I'm sitting here slightly upset after seeing Iowa win promotion over Rutgers and then noticing that they weren't actually promoted in the next season. It will never happen but I really do wish that CFB had promotion/relegation. Terrific video as always.
Yeah he messed up several times in the video but for how time consuming it had to be making this video + the entertainment value it was easy to write off and still enjoy it
I did something somewhat similar in NCAA 12 or 13, but instead I grouped teams in conferences based on the school's prestige level. After every season, I would realign teams based on their new prestige level. It eventually got to a point after a few seasons where the game didn't like that and would no longer let me move teams around between conferences!
@@XillsFormerly This was about 11 or 12 years ago, so I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty sure there were some conferences that had the max number of teams and some that may have had less than the maximum number. The game does require conferences with divisions to have no more than a one team difference in size between those divisions. I just remember it wouldn't let me if I tried moving a team at all from any conference, regardless of size. I used to have a word document as I went along to keep track, I think I may still have the save, but the word document is probably long gone!
At the start of the video what you've just described is actually closer to the Promotion/Relegation playoffs in German Football. Wherein, the two top teams of the 2.Bundesliga are promoted, the two bottom Bundesliga teams are relegated and third best and worst of each division then play each other in a Relegation/Promotion Playoff. The winner then plays in the Bundesliga the next season.
man, championship games/promotion battles against rivals are truly something else. Don't know if you like soccer, but on that topic I recommend seeing the Brighton vs Crystal Palace playoff game in 2013. Palace, away, won to advance for the playoff final for a spot in the Premier League, against their biggest rival.
This shit was dope. You ought to do one of your series with these rules in place, I would love to see your created team take the place of one of these Power 5 teams. Great work homie!
In england rivalries persist even if there are two or more leagues between teams. Sleeping giants will rise again and overachievers will eventually falter. What truly matters is your relationship with the fans. If you have the fans with you then you will keep the finances to get back up. Rangers in scotland went bankrupt and were demoted to the bottom of scottish soccer. The fans back the team and 40k showed up for home games and away games had full stadiums every game. It took them 8 years to win promotion 4 times (if I remember it correctly) and in their second season back they won the scottish premiership (iirc). It's a roller coaster but that's what sport is about, the fans and their passion. Without them you have nothing, with them you can win anything.
I did my own version of this in NCAA 2013, except this was the last year with the WAC. So I made it a 3 tier relegation, the worst teams of the group of 5 got sent down to the WAC. Only 1 power 5 team made it to the WAC, that was Colorado, they stayed there for like 4 or 5 seasons
I love this idea and I have a suggestion/idea that may be interesting. Also not sure if this is possible to do but thought I'd throw it out there. Set it up like the actual English soccer structure. Premier League - Big10 and SEC combined Championship - ACC and Big12 combined League 1 - Pac12 and AAC combined League 2 - SBC and MAC combined National League - Mid America and MW combined Then the top team earns automatic promotion. The worst team automatic relegation. Then the 2nd best plays the second worst and the 3rd best plays the 3rd worst for each other's spots. Only "premier league" teams can play in the playoff. It'd be quite complicated but cool to see if someone from the MW could make it all the way up or if a big school fell all the way down. Again loved the video and wanted to suggest another idea!
The best thing we could compare this to is Relegation playoffs in leagues like the Bundesliga. But this is an amazing concept that needs to be implemented in US sports more
@Rahal Fan girl Two words: salary cap. MLS has a salary cap, and you can't have relegation AND a salary cap. It'd screw with all the teams payrolls, unless it was the same for all tiers, and then itd be limited by the wealth of ownership groups. As an American, it's very strange to watch European Football, where, generally, whoever has the biggest wallet wins. For example, why watch the Bundesliga when you know Bayern is just gonna win the championship again, and if it doesn't, there's only like 2, maybe 3 other competitive teams. American sports (except MLB) have salary caps, which are great because then every fan base gets a fair shot at their team winning the championship, not just the big city/big money teams. Just my two cents though.
I would love to sitdown and set up relegation regions across the entirety of NCAA Football. From Power 5 all the way down to Division 3. Do it real proper like.
It really doesn’t otherwise how do you have a team with the 6th best record in the sport who hasn’t had a losing season in 28 consecutive years not in a P5 conference?
The most surprising thing to me is Pittsburgh never moved down, people say we don't belong in the ACC, apparently this simulation proves we're worthy enough
We need an updated version of this starting out with all the schools in their correct conference as of next season, and going five to ten years into the future. Please make a part 2 🙇🏻♂
How did you do this more practically? I am playing the new college football game 25 and I have my own relegation system (just realigning based on records), but I like the playoff game style you do, how can I do this in practice?
33:31 Promotion and relegation isn't done over a long period of time. It happens every single season. There is a term for clubs that get promoted and relegated repeatedly in consecutive seasons: yo-yo clubs.
I did a relegation/promotion dynasty, but instead of pairing off conferences and having a game to decide it, I just used the conference ranking and slid the best/worst teams up and down the ranks of conferences. Pretty fascinating stuff
I always did wonder if something like that could work in an American sport. Like the weakest "Power Five" or "Power Six" (whichever) would swap places with the strongest non-power FBS (1-A) and get its "Power conference" privileges instead.
The editor missed a few mistakes. You said Akron won the big 12 at the end of the video. And when Arizona State was in the game the editor showed the Arizona Logo. Also you said Kansas St. when it was Kansas.
Btw the amount of times you talked about the acc teams who can’t make it back into the acc like VT,duke etc and yet ignored Louisville every year. Also I can’t believed I watched a 10 year simulation of college football and Georgia and Alabama weren’t notable to talk about a single time. Did not expect that
To be fair, Louisville was pretty solid in the American later on but just weren't good enough. As a Louisville fan, that is the most Louisville thing ever.
Interesting experiment. If you ever feel like doing a FIFA franchise you should take a team from the bottom of the English system to win the EPL and UEFA cup. Would be at least 4 seasons maybe more but it's an action packed game
13:22 Memphis is like "We did it, for Cumberland!"... That said promotion and relegation would be interesting in college, especially in the bottom team from a group of 5 conference had to play a top team from an FCS conference.
This is more Bundesliga than Premier League. At the end of the season, the 3rd-lowest team plays the 3rd-highest team from 2. Bundesliga to determine who gets that spot. I used to do a more traditional pro/rel with NCAA 14. Each conference was in a ladder system (SEC down to Independent). The lowest team was relegated while the champion of the next conference down moved up. The only caveat I made was that if the BCS champion came from outside the top conference, they got automatic inclusion.
NTE I would love for you to make a series that involves relegation. Whenever it is RTG, a coach, or a team series, I want this relegation concept in your series. Please do it DREWSKI!
I do like this for every single dynasty I play. Same exact rules. I never had a team do well in the promoted conferences, they basically just alternate every year. Except Vandy who got stuck in the Sun Belt for years
In season 7 we see Iowa beat Rutgers to get promoted to the big 10 "after a few years in the mac" but then in season 8 they're still in the mac. You think we wouldn't notice?!
This is an awesome video! I kinda wish we could see the lower subdivisions as well e.g., southern ---> sun belt however i understand the limitations of NCAA 14. Hopefully we will get lucky and EA will include FCS teams and promotion/relegation in the upcoming series revival.
I like this idea for a video! It would also be cool to see it as the conferences ranked (where the bottom two teams of conference 1 fought to avoid relegation to conference 2, on down the line) so the conference makeup would be more dynamic, instead of knowing that only AAC/ACC teams could switch, for example. Like, imagine Ohio in the PAC-12, or Washington State in C-USA.
As a Maryland native and fan, seeing the Terps get relegated to the MAC and then promoted back to the B1G TEN is exactly the kind of roller coaster I signed up for.

In england rivalries persist even if there are two or more leagues between teams. Sleeping giants will rise again and overachievers will eventually falter. What truly matters is your relationship with the fans. If you have the fans with you then you will keep the finances to get back up. Rangers in scotland went bankrupt and were demoted to the bottom of scottish soccer. The fans back the team and 40k showed up for home games and away games had full stadiums every game.

Love seeing my Bearcats getting into the ACC after 1 season and then becoming mid table for the rest of the sim
This is an unbelievably good idea 💡
I did my own version of this in NCAA 2013, except this was the last year with the WAC. So I made it a 3 tier relegation, the worst teams of the group of 5 got sent down to the WAC. Only 1 power 5 team made it to the WAC, that was Colorado, they stayed there for like 4 or 5 seasons
I love this idea and I have a suggestion/idea that may be interesting. Also not sure if this is possible to do but thought I'd throw it out there.
Set it up like the actual English soccer structure.
Premier League - Big10 and SEC combined
Championship - ACC and Big12 combined
League 1 - Pac12 and AAC combined
League 2 - SBC and MAC combined
National League - Mid America and MW combined
Then the top team earns automatic promotion. The worst team automatic relegation. Then the 2nd best plays the second worst and the 3rd best plays the 3rd worst for each other's spots. Only "premier league" teams can play in the playoff.
It'd be quite complicated but cool to see if someone from the MW could make it all the way up or if a big school fell all the way down.
Again loved the video and wanted to suggest another idea!
The best thing we could compare this to is Relegation playoffs in leagues like the Bundesliga. But this is an amazing concept that needs to be implemented in US sports more

As a Nebraska fan, I'm just happy we never played in a single relegation game and even managed to win a natty. Take me to this universe, please!

Promotion exists if your a big money school but demotion never happens. Look at Northwestern and Vandy.
It really doesn’t otherwise how do you have a team with the 6th best record in the sport who hasn’t had a losing season in 28 consecutive years not in a P5 conference?

I always did wonder if something like that could work in an American sport. Like the weakest "Power Five" or "Power Six" (whichever) would swap places with the strongest non-power FBS (1-A) and get its "Power conference" privileges instead.
As a VT fan, this simulation couldn’t be more accurate
the American and sun-belt are the toughest group of 5 conferences irl
Ummm 19:24 Rice played THE WRONG TEAM
The editor missed a few mistakes. You said Akron won the big 12 at the end of the video. And when Arizona State was in the game the editor showed the Arizona Logo. Also you said Kansas St. when it was Kansas.
Btw the amount of times you talked about the acc teams who can’t make it back into the acc like VT,duke etc and yet ignored Louisville every year.
Also I can’t believed I watched a 10 year simulation of college football and Georgia and Alabama weren’t notable to talk about a single time. Did not expect that
To be fair, Louisville was pretty solid in the American later on but just weren't good enough.
As a Louisville fan, that is the most Louisville thing ever.
Interesting experiment. If you ever feel like doing a FIFA franchise you should take a team from the bottom of the English system to win the EPL and UEFA cup. Would be at least 4 seasons maybe more but it's an action packed game
If only this was possible. Man it made it way better. Imagine the hype for these smaller schools playing for a chance in the Power 5!?
Love this idea. Definitely implementing it in all college football games going forward!
13:22 Memphis is like "We did it, for Cumberland!"...
That said promotion and relegation would be interesting in college, especially in the bottom team from a group of 5 conference had to play a top team from an FCS conference.
This was very entertaining and dare I say those promotion bowls were more exciting then the Playoffs?!?
My guy is so underrated, I love the content ideas and never disappoints
glad ur posting again @nte i missed watching ur videos before beddy time. GO PANDAS
I do the same thing in my dynasty. It’s crazy how different the conferences get after about 6 years
21:31 South Dakota State? You mean San Diego State?
This is more Bundesliga than Premier League. At the end of the season, the 3rd-lowest team plays the 3rd-highest team from 2. Bundesliga to determine who gets that spot.
I used to do a more traditional pro/rel with NCAA 14. Each conference was in a ladder system (SEC down to Independent). The lowest team was relegated while the champion of the next conference down moved up. The only caveat I made was that if the BCS champion came from outside the top conference, they got automatic inclusion.
21:30 HOW DOES IT FEEL WHEN YOU GET CALLED THE WRONG NAME FOR ONCE😂 glad to hear drew knows who the real SDSU is
NTE I would love for you to make a series that involves relegation. Whenever it is RTG, a coach, or a team series, I want this relegation concept in your series. Please do it DREWSKI!
I do like this for every single dynasty I play. Same exact rules. I never had a team do well in the promoted conferences, they basically just alternate every year. Except Vandy who got stuck in the Sun Belt for years
You gotta do this again man! Maybe even 10 more years in the same save.
Please make more of these!!! I would seriously watch this every week
In season 7 we see Iowa beat Rutgers to get promoted to the big 10 "after a few years in the mac" but then in season 8 they're still in the mac. You think we wouldn't notice?!
well worth the wait!! the quality of this video went above an already ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ channel. best edits and best content. its like i’m in 10G right now 😂
Iowa ---22:07 - you forgot to bump Iowa up to B10 out of MAC at Season 8 - but that's a nitpick... and only caught because I'm a diehard Hawkeye fan 😂
This is actually how American Football at UK Universities work! We won our division 2 conference and will play in Div 1 next season
Yeah, but this was all D1. But i do think that's pretty cool.
25:25 FINALLY WE GOT THE RECOGNITION AND RESPECT WE NEEDED!!!
Love these fast paced simulation series
This is an awesome video! I kinda wish we could see the lower subdivisions as well e.g., southern ---> sun belt however i understand the limitations of NCAA 14. Hopefully we will get lucky and EA will include FCS teams and promotion/relegation in the upcoming series revival.
I like this idea for a video! It would also be cool to see it as the conferences ranked (where the bottom two teams of conference 1 fought to avoid relegation to conference 2, on down the line) so the conference makeup would be more dynamic, instead of knowing that only AAC/ACC teams could switch, for example. Like, imagine Ohio in the PAC-12, or Washington State in C-USA.
This game is so goofy in sim. Also, Drewski constantly mixing up teams with states is hilarious
NTE I loved this system. It made every game actually matter. Great video.
Imagine being an undergrad at Florida State, seeing your school win it all and then get relegated two years later. Sheesh. Awesome video Drewski!
this may be the coolest concept I've seen yet!
Bro the editing was amazing 👍
As a Maryland native and fan, seeing the Terps get relegated to the MAC and then promoted back to the B1G TEN is exactly the kind of roller coaster I signed up for.
