There would be a huge disadvantage for most schools no doubt. Personally I do not want college football to go this route. But if it did exist, every FBS program would have a route to play in the Super League. Which keeps more of the country engaged in the Super League vs having a Super League with 90% of the teams in the Southeast in a closed system. Again, I do not want either to happen.

To further show how a relegation system would work...

Northeast
League 1 would typically be Notre Dame and Penn State battling it out for a playoff spot. Syracuse, BC, Pitt, West Virginia, Rutgers would typically fluctuate between League 1 and League 2. UConn, Temple, UMass, Buffalo, Delaware, Army, Navy would typically be in League 3 and occasionally in League 2.

In a closed Super League only Notre Dame and Penn State would make the cut. The others would be completely left out. With promotion/relegation some of the schools will occasionally be in the Super League. While all schools have a pathway to play in the Super League, realistically half of the schools will never sniff it.

But again none of this will ever happen because you need a centralized league office that will separate the FBS into regional divisions, and then run the entire FBS. No one will agree to conceding power.
