What's this?

Not if they could still have an impact on the seeding for the semi-final


round. The 4 CCG winners move onto the semi-final round, but the Committee would still have to seed them. You don't think college football fans would enjoy seeing more match-ups between the top teams in the power conferences? Right now the Pac-12 rarely plays the ACC or SEC during the regular season. The SEC rarely plays the Big Ten during the regular season. The ACC rarely plays the Big XII and to a less extent the Big Ten during the regular season. For majority of the power conferences, they only require 1 game against another power conference and then teams can fill their 2 or 3 remaining spots with creampuffs. The games against the creampuffs are already devalued because majority of the time they end with a power conference blowout.

For example VT has played Arkansas State 4 times and won all 4 games.

1994: 34-7
1997: 50-0
2002: 63-7
2011: 26-7

Whether a team is trying to earn a spot in the Playoffs or a New Year's Day Six bowl game, there is very little added value for these types of games. If anything those types of games may hurt a team's chances more than help it especially if a team's peers are playing 2 or 3 OOC games against P5 opponents.

  As chuck and gobbler-100 stated below, scheduling problem gone w/ 16-4 Divs -- Stech 06/10/2016 07:48AM
  The pod structure is a much more competitively fair structure too. -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 4:27PM
  What I don't get is why doesn't the ACC just rotate divisions now? -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 3:40PM
  I will just add if they go to 4 Divs., then you can keep OOC games with B1G -- Stech 06/10/2016 1:29PM
  We can do a rotation now with 14 but they want -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 11:23AM
  4 team divisions with no crossovers? Who gets left out? -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 10:46AM
  7 is the floor, IMO. -- Red Hokie 06/10/2016 11:06AM
  Not sure why ND would join if they still have access to CFP. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 11:29AM
  I believe ND joins after B12 dies -- Red Hokie 06/10/2016 11:40AM
  The Big 12 will survive to the end of there contract -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 11:59AM
  The Big 12 #1 team has to beat #2 twice to get to CCG...that's going to be -- Stech 06/10/2016 12:58PM
  The Big 12 will survive as long as Texas wants it to survive ** -- Tailgate Guru 06/10/2016 12:56PM
  Agreed - a 4 conference champs only model is boring -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:08PM
  Wouldn't schools be more apt to schedule tougher games? -- hokieball 06/10/2016 1:41PM
  It means more intersting regular season OOC games. Now TV can't get enough -- Stech 06/10/2016 1:34PM
  Yeah, big holes in that line of thinking(CCG Model), totally water -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:16PM
  Is the 4 conference champs model still boring if the Playoff -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:15PM
  Yes. CCG games would be good but they are now -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:28PM
  Yes. CCG games would be good but they are now -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:28PM
  Yes, that would be horrible. Why pay to go see a exhibitionx -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:19PM
  Why pay to see a power conference school play -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:26PM
  If OOC games are meaningless there may be even more patsies -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:34PM
  Great point about the casual fan only tuning in late in the season... -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:32PM
  Not if the power conferences decide to ban playing G5 conferences -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:36PM
  Okay then you really will be seeing 2nd, 3rd, 4th teamers -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:47PM
  You will kill a lot of great games. There is NO way the networks -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:45PM
  Like Notre Dame vs. UMass last year? ** -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:54PM
  Did you see the ratings? If with your plan USC and ND becomes -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:57PM
  You can't be sure of that the ratings would drop. Just like -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 1:01PM
  Rankings will mean nothing in the plan we all are talking about. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:39PM
  There will still be weekly polls because the networks will -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 2:54PM
  ...and they'll still be meaningless to those who are playing to win a title ** -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:58PM
  So are all the "cupcake" games that every P5 school plays -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 3:10PM
  These are two separate problems. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:39PM
  No they aren't when majority of the P5-G5 match-ups are as -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 4:01PM
  It's self evident that P6 games are better than G5 games. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 6:13PM
  Who says it won't count for anything? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 9:56PM
  If you label them that then they will ge less attendence and less -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:29PM
  Not if they could still have an impact on the seeding for the semi-final -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:49PM
  What this is a bit of a moving target now -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:55PM
  Ummm...you can't have more "big match-ups" if the P5s don't -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 1:05PM
  But they have to matter? If they don't matter why watch -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:22PM
  Who says these marquee OOC games wouldn't still matter? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 1:45PM
  If the playoff is expanded, all this conversation is moot. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:06PM

  I'm confused didn't you orginally state exhibition? -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:48PM
  Teams will still play 12 game regular seasons so the OCC -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 2:02PM

  This is why I like the 20 team model slightly more. -- hokieball 06/10/2016 09:33AM
  With the 20 team model I see only a P4 or maybe even a P3 -- BigCrumpy 06/10/2016 11:07AM
