New Relegation Idea

[bwyant32]

Below are the proposed conferences. Here is the basis:

• 2 Regions (East and West)
• Each region broken down into a sub-region (North and South)
• There are 6 Tiers that look like this:
  Tier 1: SEC & PAC 12 (16 teams each)
  Tier 2: ACC & BIG 10 (12 teams each)
  Tier 3: American & BIG 12 (12 teams each)
  Tier 4: Conf USA & Mt West (12 teams each)
  Tier 5: Sun Belt & MAC (6 teams each)
  Tier 6: Indep. East & Indep. West (5 teams each)
• Bowl Tie-Ins (2 conferences per tier):
  Tier 1: None
  Tier 2: None
  Tier 3: Cotton Bowl (Prevents a team down here from a BCS Bowl in theory
  Tier 4: Las Vegas Bowl
  Tier 5: Sun Bowl
  Tier 6: None
• Promotion/Relgation Looks like this:
  Tier 2 to 1 (2 teams move): Each conference champ replaces the last place team in the above region and sub-region
  Tier 3 to 2 (2 teams move): Each conference champ replaces the last place team in the above region and sub-region
  Tier 4 to 3 (1 team moves): Las Vegas Bowl champ replaces the last place team in corresponding region and sub-region
  Tier 5 to 4 (1 team moves): Sun Bowl champ replaces the last place team in corresponding region and sub-region
  Tier 6 to 5 (2 teams move): BTop overall record in each independent region replaces the last place team above them
  Top 25 Scenario: Any team from Tier 4 to Tier 6 who did not meet automatic promotion criteria but finishes in the top 25 will also move up.

I don't know if it was changed for '14 or not, but only BCS Bowls were able to be set as tie-ins
