You are also not taking into account that the ACC has 14 more opportunities to play P5 teams so they, in reality are playing .7 less over an entire season as compared to the big ten.
I agree that teams need to go play good teams. But it seems now too many of them are just banking on a crappy OOC, winning their division w/o difficult crossover games, winning the CCG, having an undefeated schedule (even if it is bad) and putting that in the laps of the CFP committee. The committee didn't fall far it with UCF. I'm wondering if they'd fall for it with a P5?
You are not necessarily “ducking good competition”. One of Clemson’s games is South Carolina, not exactly stiff competition. Georgia has Georgia Tech. Kentucky and Louisville. And if you have a team like Florida who’s playing two FCS teams they aren’t exactly stepping up to the challenge.
We don’t play Illinois or Minnesota this year. And are we going to pretend that the ACC doesn’t have trash like the BigTen? I have been a big proponent of 8 conference games and two required P5 games but no conference out there is pushing that.
You missed it. I said if they were undefeated...won the CCG, would the CFP have put them in?
Let's be reasonable here. The committee would still have placed a two-loss Alabama team into the playoff over an undefeated UCF team - even if one of the Knight's wins was over the Tide.
Yes. Please provide twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.
Some of the FCS teams people play are going to be tougher than those three.
That would be great for fans . . bad for P5 bowl eligibility.
Is it much different than 9 conference games and one P5 opponent?
In terms of strength of schedule, it is probably no different. But in terms of fan interest, I think more inter-conference play would be great. I would certainly not be against such a plan.
More fan interest and gives a better conference strength picture with more points of data.
