Abstract
After each college football season, the talking heads debate which team missed out on the College Football Playoffs. Each year it is a different school who everyone says should have made the playoffs. There are a multitude of reasons for or against each team every year, but the main point remains that the NCAA will always have this problem on their hands. This article proposes the solution of a promotion/relegation style structure which will completely change the dynamic of the conference layout. It will give an opportunity to the best teams outside of the 'Power 5' or FBS to make the College Football Playoffs. There may be many questions still needed to be answered if this format is adopted, but this article provides the building blocks. The NCAA has a chance to build more passionate fan bases while breaking out of its mold by trying something new and exciting. Under this system, anything can happen.
