This is part 2 of my blog, and true to my word, I will stick to this every week until the Conference Championship Week of December 16th, I will bring you my mocked up card, which generally grew out of the fact the Smaller Leagues would normally, in real gritty, earthy, earthly reality, would have to carve a week out their traditional Regular Season Slate.
And, every Thursday save for Thanksgiving, I will bring you Conference Auto Bids (Postseason Tournament) Champions and At Larges (Conf. Tournament Runner Ups) for the Field of 128. And, If we had the #1 Team Upset at the Top, that would be 151st out of 777. But if we had the worst Postseason Team get upset, it'd be 300th of 777.
And without further ado, here is the PSAC "Battle for University Park", which would have surged, in real reality, towns to Beaver Stadium like a College State Tournament instead of the overdone "Whiteout"/"Zombie Nation" flip scene that started at the top of Central PA.
Western Division Championship
"The 1st Postseason Game of the 2017 Season"
Slippery Rock 7-2 8-2
4 Indiana (PA) 9-0 10-0
I take pride in the 1st as much as the last, like having UNLV-UW Whitewater or Tennessee-Columbia (NYC) would have physically jumped off the page and into Las Vegas and New York City
Eastern Division Championship
West Chester 7-2 8-2
Shippensburg 8-1 9-1
Even though we already have a PSAC Championship between Shippensburg and Indiana (PA) Next Week, but, I feel the principle is having THE Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference cross paths at the University of Pennsylvania State, which is the more formal name for Penn State, the flagship of the Northeast.
CIAA Championship
Rogers Stadium Petersburg,VA
Southern Division Championship
St. Augustine's 5-3 5-5
Fayetteville State 6-3 6-4
My detail piece is to save (or try to save) the home team for last to retain the same energy from beginning, middle, and end.
Northern Division Championship
Bowie State 8-1 9-1
15 Virginia State 8-0 9-0
Northeast 10 Championship
Worcester, MA Multi Sport Stadium
Even though we have a Northeast 10 Championship Game already carved into the Regular Season, but, I feel in this case it would double the intensity and emotion if we had a Conference Championship in Real Reality with the Conference Tournament Semifinals and Finals
3 Bentley 5-3 5-4
2 LIU Post 6-2 7-2
4 New Haven 5-3 6-2
16 1 Assumption 8-0 9-0
SIAC Championship
Montgomery, AL Crampton Bowl
East Division Championship
Albany State 4-2 6-4
Fort Valley State 5-2 5-4
In a traditional Conference Championship Game, it always benefits the team that was defeated the 1st Time Around, but, if we had to actually have an actual division championship in College Football, it would be more likely to benefit the team that lost the initial meeting, too.
West Division Championship
Miles 6-2 6-4
Tuskegee 6-1 8-2
One of my personal peeves as a Sportsman and a Sports Fan who watches from TV and Live is I don't always hear how a Sports Crowd should roar, like Carver Hawkeye Arena should show up for Kentucky State as much as Kentucky.
Midwest Conference Championship
Memorial Stadium Champaign,IL
I feel even though the Midwest Conference is back in the Conference Championship Fold, but, I felt in my detail out of my hand, throwing in a Historic College Football Stadium to elevate the Conference Stakes like Memorial Stadium is the de facto home to the Illinois High School State Football Championships even though the program says otherwise.
North Division Championship
Chicago 3-2 5-4
St. Norbert 5-0 7-2
This would be a bigger and greater scene for the University of Chicago Community if this was unlocked as an actual gameday for it to return to Champaign-Urbana for the first time Since the Big Ten, and coincidentally, being a founding member of the Big Ten and it would have been extra credit for the nation's or one of the nation's largest Public School Districts to revest their hard earned money into Sports, especially Football when Winter Sports has found an overdue falloff in the Chicago Public Schools/Chicago Public League spectrum.
South Division Championship
Lake Forest 4-1 8-1
Monmouth 5-0 8-1
It would be an emotionometer on its own, too, but, when I take care of Tuesday Night Finals in a single roll like who is or isn't in office or better than that, money mishandled by varying Middle Eastern Nationals rolls back to Centerville or Fort Madison with the Minor Leagues, which a lot of people would love, and having to think the initial Halas Hall and the University of Chicago twist high stakes paths and not just for garbage time which would be an overuse, for Chicago, Chicagoland and Chicago Football Fans.
United Midwest Ath. Conference Championship
Pete FioRito Stadium at McKinzie Field
Eureka,IL
3 St. Scholastic 7-2 7-3 vs. 2 MacMurray 7-2 8-2
4 Northwestern (MN) 6-3 6-4 @ 1 Eureka 8-1 8-2
I would like to close with saying if we took time to actually map Conference Tournaments in College Football, hospitality and scholarships would be root, but, if we really wanted to win more than the day, I feel needing to focus on College Football last and first. Energy at the end of the day pays the bills, and I know 2008 still has everything to do with everything, but, certainly, I would howl at having a Preliminary Game just to get to the Wild Card Game and the better teams would have a double bye (or more) just to be an ATM. I feel the downside with franchising everything to gray matter is people are skeptical and sure, everything starts innocent, but, it's easier to keep good going great rather than running incessantly.
