RE: Aresco Proposes Scrapping Divisons
This would be a return to the old SEC way of doing business.
The B10 opposed the ACC because they didn't want to see ND in any ACC title game format and because they were still pissed at counter overtures made to B10's little brothers.
Support for the current rule comes from certain schools in very weak conference divisions. Winning the B10 west is one thing, finishing first or second in the B10 after having to play OSU, UM, Wisky, Nebraska, and Iowa is something else.
Same issue in the SEC East and ACC Coastal.
The logical counter argument is to allow a semi-final based on three division of 4, 5, or 6
Example
B10 East - Rutgers, PSU, MD, Ohio State, Indiana
B10 Central - UM, MSU, Purdue, NW, Ilinois
B10 West - Minn, Iowa, Wisky, Nebraska (Kansas or Colorado)
ACC North - ND, BC, Pitt, Syr, Miami
ACC Central - VT, UVa, Duke, NCSU, UNC
ACC South - Louisville, GT, WF, Clemson, FSU
SEC East - UK, UT, SC, UGa, Florida
SEC Central - Bama, Auburn, Vandy, Ole Miss, MSU
SEC West LSU, Arkansas, Mizzou, TAMU, Ok State
P12 East - Texas, TCU, TT, OU,( Kansas or Colorado)
P12 South - Arizona, ASU, USC, Utah, Cal
P12 North - Stanford, Oregon, OSU, Washington, WSU
Hypothetical Semi Finals
OSU/PSU, Michigan/Iowa
ND/NC State, Clemson/Syracuse
Bama/TAMU, Georgia/Auburn
OU/Utah, Washington/Texas
Likely finals
OSU/Michigan
ND/Clemson
Bama/Georgia
Oklahoma/Texas
This is your real 16 team playoff
West Va, Iowa State. K-State. and Baylor are SOL until and unless one of these decides to go to 18 or three division of six - then West Va, Iowa State, Cincy, USF, UCF, Houston, Army, Navy, and Air Force wait for the call-up.
