Split them 7 and 7. Your 6 games count towards your seed in your respective half. Last week of the season 1 plays 1 for the title. 2 plays 2, and so on. I didn't need a 1,500 page report to come up with that. That guarantees 7 conference games and fill the rest of schedule with 3 - 4 'non conference', which could be Big Sky teams. Expand yeah. This ain't happening. sorry. Quote

Expand What if you had an undefeated team from each side, how sweet would that be?? I didn't say it would be perfect each year, but at least it determines a champion by playing a game called the "Big Sky Championship Game!!" It's really not that different from the power 5 FBS conference championship games except everyone plays in the conference, not just the top 2. If this isn't considered.....why the hell not!! Quote
zonadub Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 The biggest hurdle with an east/west or north/south split feels like the traditionally powerful teams (Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington, and now Idaho and hopefully UND) would mostly be together, while the teams that are more often the not-so-powerful (for example Weber, Sac State, UC Davis, and maybe Idaho State) would be in the other half. If you look at it that way, a Big Sky/WAC reorg makes more sense. Quote
WILDCAT Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 If there was a geography split I have always liked the following Big Sky Conf / Mountain Division Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, North Dakota, Northern Colorado and Weber State Pacific Coast Conf / Pacific Division Cal Poly, Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State, Southern Utah and UC Davis. Pretty balanced and it keeps the founding members (Weber, Montana, Montana State, Idaho State, Idaho) together. 3 Quote

Expand Alternate the divisions for the 4 thru 7 games each year, hosting for those doesn't matter much any way. Have the 1 thru 3 games at Mile High Stadium in Denver as part of Big Sky Playoff Showdown weekend. Have the games at 11, 3 and 7, with the Championship last. You would also have quality games for your other playoff contenders to wrap up the regular season. With six schools, you would have the potential for a good turnout and you would generally know well in advance if your team was going to make the Showdown, so travel plans would be easier. Denver is a pretty easy flight for all schools as well, and it would draw some exposure to the league, and also be convenient for Root Sports to cover. Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Seems a bit gimmicky and I would hate to lose the home date. 1 Quote

Expand Looks like there is a proposal to add 12th game to the FCS schedule permanently. Not sure if the proposal is so conferences can have the option for a "Championship" game or if it's just to get another game on the schedule... Quote
