Devon Cherish, the new commissioner for the NCAA has a whole new look at college football. He has really shaken things up by offering to pay the players that compete in the top 3 conferences. All-American Conference, Big XII, and B1G. These three conferences have been completely revamped and restructured. Don't get to comfortable with your favorite team in one of these conferences. They will change conferences based on the bottom 4.
Alternatively, other teams will have a chance to advance up the scale. There are six regional conferences as well as two independent conferences (Independents and C-USA). The top preforming teams from each region will move up and replace the demoted teams.

The AAC or All-American Athletic Conference is made of the best and brightest. For this inaugural season these schools have been selected based on their All-Time win/loss record. This ensures optimum dedication to winning. Losing will send teams back to their regions next year and some of the regional teams will advance to B1G. Some B1G teams will move onto X11 and some will leave for the regionals. Some XII teams will move onto the AAC and some will go back to regional conferences as well.
