What's this?

What’s wrong with pods?


Regional matchups and rivalries are important. Conferences are getting ridiculously large.

What is the holdup with going to pods? Play the pod teams every year, rotate others. Where the alliance could come in is use the tier system that has been mentioned. Use two factors, previous year performance and current year performance.

Early season inter-alliance matchups between teams that performed similarly the previous year.

Late season inter-alliance matchups basically become an alliance bracket between the top four(?) teams in the alliance that year. The top teams from BIG ACC PAC respectively plus one, though may have to bump down to next teams if you’re just re creating matchups that had been played earlier in the season.

Hold individual BIG ACC PAC conf championship games subsequently.

  The WAC tried the pod (they called them quads) method in the late 90s -- VTHokie2000 08/18/2021 12:14PM

  It does have to do with Notre Dame though. -- VTHokie2000 08/18/2021 1:27PM
  Thanks for the info. I don't see this bylaw lasting very long. -- Maroon Baboon 08/18/2021 1:44PM
