well, i never tried the 6-6-0-0, but it seems fairly similar to the 12-0 to me in terms of effectiveness. the 12-0 was so easy it was a joke. i tried it once, i took over a badly recruited super class team, and won the title with the seniors anyway. that was my first title, i had 0 before that, so its not like i was already a master at that point. i recruited my one and only superclass following that title, and obviously it was a way more talented team. we lost in the title game as juniors, huge favorites in that title game, and then won it all as seniors. overall, it was absurdly easy, and the prospect of repeating that process was no fun at all (although it was interesting to do once just to prove to myself it was as easy as i thought). i never attempted again, but i'm sure if i did, it would have continued in similar fashion. note i was in an (at least) half empty conference, there was none of this crazy rolling up your bonus monies into an insane horde stuff!
so, my feeling on the 6-6-0-0 would have to be along those lines. its fine for new coaches to try to learn and for people to try just for fun. but long term, its pretty lame, and even though i do feel you should generally do what is allowed within the rules to dominate, that is just too cheesy, too big an advantage. you get to recruit with an A+ and pay no downside for the down years, simply because its just the way it goes in d2/d3. if you want to superclass in d1, fine. recruiting is competitive and you will pay for those down years. d2/d3 superclass titles absolutely do not count the way d2/d3 titles do. at best, half, probably less. im not saying there is NO challenge, but come on, its clearly not even close to the same level of challenge. you could never make the HD hall of fame on sheer superclass titles, even if you won 50, you wouldn't even be a consideration for the top 25, at least not in my book.
edit: the only thing ill say to redeem superclasses slightly, is that with potential, seniors are less of an advantage, and potential and the increased importance of local recruiting, do make superclassing today less overwhelming. i think 6-6 vs 12-0 is not really a meaningful difference, but those first two things are. however, its also clear you could perfect superclassing far beyond what i could as a rookie with no championships yet, with things like bonus money rollover, uptempo fb/pr, etc. all in all, for fun, to learn, go ahead - but anyone remotely aspiring to be one of the top coaches even in that single division of that single world, would do well to avoid superclassing. i dont go to the point of saying you are a dick if you super class, to each their own, but don't expect any serious respect for your accomplishments, either.
