What is the ACC thinking?

[PhilSimms11]

It's considering changes to its conference championship game because SMU had to sweat it out during the CFP announcement. They're considering...

-Giving the regular season champion a bye and having teams that finished 2nd and 3rd play in the CCG.
WHAT?

-Have the top-4 teams play the final week of the regular season...1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd with the two winners meeting in the CCG.
How in the hell would that work?

This is all dumb as hell.

I'll say it again. The ACC Championship Game was unnecessary. SMU (11-1, 8-0) was the only team in conference to run the table. But, they want a CCG to make money so, they'll just have to eat it if things don't go their way.

with where CFB is going, I'm questioning whether any conf. should have a CCG............

My god this is one of the stupidest proposals I’ve ever read

The ACC will likely be losing FSU and Clemson soon. That will probably trigger a few other teams to jump to other conferences.

This just looks like a desperate conference to me. They definitely do not want to become a one playoff team conference, and it seems they are heading that way, although maybe Belichick can revive UNC quickly.
