Good call!

The only downfall is week 1 is just as important as Week 9, there are no Pre-season/non conference games to get the kinks out, but good coaching will trump that i guess.

Link? I find some 9-man lists, but they're all grouped together.

They aren't grouped into regions exactly, but if you look at the enrollments they are grouped into 4 regions going from largest to smallest in each region.

Thank you.
What is the currect tie breaking procedure in a 3 way tie, point differential?

I think each region sets their own tie break procedures, but the most common is point differential.

Wouldn't DC be one of the least affected teams if they move to a 4 region format?
