All schools would then play ND once every 3 yrs. that game wouldn't count, just what the wimps want, I know, but the math works.<br />The champion would be determined as I suggested in prior post.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-10437435064061257782014-05-15T17:23:29.625-04:002014-05-15T17:23:29.625-04:00GP11

We need to go undefeated or 1 loss-ACC champs to make the playoff. The one thing the 9 game schedule would bring up is inequality of home vs. away conference games. Obviously you'd alternate each year, but I could see BC losing out on the schedule quirks more often then not (i.e. consistently being a home game for the FSUs, Clemsons, etc when those schools have 4 home games). I prefer the straight 4 and 4.<br /><br />I'm much more in favor of killing the divisions and playing a rotating schedule of 8 teams. Or have a set 2-4 rivalry games every year with the other 4-6 rotating.

I agree the effects on us will be minimal, though I think it's kind of stupid to be in a league w/ teams and not play them for years, see coach Golden. Those of u who are familiar w/ my posts know I've been a BC fan for a long time, but I've been a college football fan even longer. I just can't stand the ND special treatment. My first taste of it came in 1966 in the tie.how can u tie a team w/ the same record yet be named champion? It's been going on ever since.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-75399664568878055222014-05-15T00:31:39.125-04:002014-05-15T00:31:39.125-04:00The 8 + 1 power BCS game is designed to ensure th...The 8 + 1 power BCS game is designed to ensure that our SOS rankings won't less ground to 9 game conferences.

We're not going to be in the Top 4 at the end of year unless we are undefeated. If we are undefeated at years end, it's hard to see us not being in at least the Top 4.<br /><br />For schools in the ACC that might get a look at the Top 4 with 1 loss? Sure it might be a problem, but it seems speculative. Playing a school from a power 5 conference is probably better or at least neutral than playing another ACC team from a SOS perspective anyway.Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797187025091891592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-14250616716831554572014-05-14T08:31:22.437-04:002014-05-14T08:31:22.437-04:00"Clemson-Georgia Tech".

There just never seems to be an end of their special status. Until schools will stop taking their bribes, and kissing their Irish A** we'll be stuck w/ this convoluted mess of a system.
