Interesting article on the future of conference realignment

In that case you might as well say Bana vs Mercer was a playoff game

Had Bama lost that game, do you think they would have made the playoffs last year at 10-2 over 11-2 Ohio State?

The ACC has the worst deal in CFB, lets not beat the dead horse.

Then that would be my pick for conference that gets poached. Great schools, highly populated states, etc..

 

[Olyduck]

I would agree with your statement with one slight adjustment. Until the SEC champion doesn’t make the playoff then the SEC CCG is a defacto playoff game.

Had Florida won in 15 or 16 or Missouri in 14 they would not have.

 

[Olyduck]

Only 1 side really needs to be in the hunt, because a loss could possibly keep them out.

Wisconsin vs Ohio St this past year is an example of that in action as I don't believe Ohio St legitimately still had a chance at that point.

It's why they say every game in the regular season is a playoff game(for those still in it).

that does not make it a playoff game

I think they put in a suicide clause like the Big 12 where the ACC still gets your TV revenue. Can’t remember exactly the terms but remember something going down when the Big 12 was flirting with Clemson and FSU.

See tOSU vs Iowa circa 2017.

Has the LHN dissolved?

If not, this is a dumb ass discussion and the big xii melts away in 2022 and Baylor, Kansas, en sech are fucked

like a playoff game.

And it was, and would have been apparent if Alabama lost.

Texas to the ACC in a Notre Dame like agreement for tier3 NBC/LHN set up.

OU goes SEC west

WVU goes SEC east

Mizzu goes to SEC west

Alabama goes SEC east (cross division Iron bowl is permanent like UT game is now sets up OU/Bama CCG a lot.)


Okie State to the PAC
Kansas to the PAC

AAC/Big12 leftovers merge.

See tOSU vs Iowa circa 2017.

You see Bama vs Auburn? Cuse vs Clemson? The theory either works for all cases or its a load of BS..

I choose option 1.

Realistically, why would the PAC want Okie State. They don’t bring that much in the way of fans or televisions. You are more likely to see PAC staying at 12 rather than picking up Oansas and Oklahoma State which would severely hurt how the conference is looked up and doesn’t help anything.

So UTEP should have a shot at a title after going 0-12? You are forgetting that Ohio State also had a blow out loss to oklahoma. No team has finished undefeated since FSU in 2014 so every playoff has been BS?

No, saying Every game is a playoff is BS. Never said a word about the playoffs

It pretty much is a double elimination playoff. Only two teams have ever missed the playoffs with one loss, the year with 5 teams with one loss and 1 team with no losses.

Auburn will go SEC East before Alabama.

There is already discussion about it now.

Every game is like a playoff game if you are still in it.

I can accept it with "like" and "if" qualifiers

Seems like they would be implied to me.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

I think we go to 20 teams conferences, with the Pac & Big 12 combining, probably dropping Baylor and West Virginia.

Then the SEC & B1G poach the ACC.

B1G gets Notre Dame, Syracuse, Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, Ga Tech

SEC gets West Virginia, NC state, Va Tech, Clemson, Miami & FSU
