This analysis was performed by Texasjeremy on a Big 12 board and I have lifted it....He did not mistake spelling of simulation...my finger hit wrong key and I can't seem to correct title.
Say we do this (using cfbdatawarehouse all-time ranking, http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.co...am_rankings.php), putting teams into 10 groups of 8. I will start at the beginning of the BCS era and see what it would look like today after promotion/relegation (2 up, 2 down per year). When I started this, I had no idea what the results would look like at the end. It appears the name of the game is have some good years, but DO NOT bottom out for a sustained amount of time.
