College Football: Relegating Worst Power Five Teams to Group of Five

It’s a common thing that is seen in sports leagues across the world – the idea that the worst team at the top level gets “relegated” each season to the next lowest league while that league’s best gets a promotion to the higher level. It’s something that has gone on for decades, sometimes even centuries – but not in most American sports, like college football.

That fact is truly a shame, since having such a system would have gotten rid of some bad teams a long time ago. When each season produces a FBS team that goes 0-12 but the FCS has one that goes 15-0 or 14-1, it would be a perfect time to send those who don’t deserve the right to play at the highest level down a peg.
