The pod structure is a much more competitively fair structure too. -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 4:27PM
As chuck and gobbler-100 stated below, scheduling problem gone w/ 16-4 Divs -- Stech 06/10/2016 07:48AM
What I don't get is why doesn't the ACC just rotate divisions now? -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 3:40PM
What about if VT didn't get to play UVA and/or Miami every year? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 4:40PM
You would have 6 rotating division games and 2 cross over RIVALS. -- chuckd4vt 06/11/2016 01:09AM
Would anyone lose sleep if VT-UVA and VT-Miami wasn't played -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2016 9:48PM
Teams can be guaranteed playing their top 2 rivals. -- chuckd4vt 06/12/2016 03:03AM
What is the point of being in the ACC if you have to play ACC team as OOC -- Lead Dog 06/12/2016 1:35PM
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
Oklahoma is the Big 12's biggest problem...not Texas. ** -- Stech 06/10/2016 1:31PM
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
So you are saying schools would willingly give up home games -- Colonel Jessup 06/12/2016 10:37AM
Yes ** -- Stech 06/10/2016 2:12PM
It would be like a pre-season game between the Cowboys and Steelers -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:03PM
Do you care about VT's success in bowl games? -- hokieball 06/10/2016 2:18PM
Apples vs. Oranges. Bowl games are at the end of the year and are part... -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:24PM
TV numbers show Virginia Tech Tennessee, Ohio State, Alabama draw reg #'s -- Stech 06/10/2016 2:46PM
You are projecting a future system with current system data ** -- Colonel Jessup 06/12/2016 10:38AM
They won't draw the same numbers if they are meaningless OOC games. ** -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:53PM
Oh come on, they will still draw way better numbers than an FCS game. ** -- Stech 06/10/2016 3:05PM
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm comparing VT vs. Tenn now ... -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:07PM
It means more intersting regular season OOC games. Now TV can't get enough -- Stech 06/10/2016 1:34PM
But oddly enough, the games vs. FCS actually mean something. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:05PM
Michigan and B1G are banning them...that's what they mean now. ** -- Stech 06/10/2016 2:51PM
Yet, they are still more meaningful than an FBS vs. FBS OOC game in your... -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:00PM
What about the 8-4 or 9-3 champ that will happen sometime -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:51PM
The bigger the conference, the less likely a skunk sneaks into the CFP. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:18PM
It won't matter because if your conference is better like SEC, then you -- Stech 06/10/2016 2:11PM
Yeah, big holes in that line of thinking(CCG Model), totally water -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:16PM
It means more Power Conference OOC games since they won't count against you -- Stech 06/10/2016 1:41PM
But if they mean nothing I won't watch? CCG only is -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:46PM
People watch great OOC regular season match ups all the time. Duke Kentucky -- Stech 06/10/2016 2:06PM
Football much different than basketball due to injuries. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:12PM
Reg season determines who gets in CCG just like now.** -- East Cobb Hokie 06/10/2016 12:34PM
But what if champ is 8-4 or 9-3? This will not happen ** -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:39PM
Other side of coin says if you aren't good enough to win -- Femoyer Hokie 06/10/2016 1:07PM
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
I do think fans would rather see VT play a P5 school than -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 1:00PM
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
Seeding for the Playoffs and New Year's Day Six bowl games -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:51PM
Seeding means next to nothing in the 4-team CFP. And it means a lot less... -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:35PM
Sure it does because it could mean the difference between -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 2:38PM
Too many moving parts to factor in all that. Ohio State won as the 4-seed. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 2:43PM
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
Anyone who is saying there will be 4 conferences and a CG w/champs only... -- Maroon Baboon 06/11/2016 12:22AM
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
If a coach is not playing for the "consolation bracket" -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 3:07PM
"Pride" "ego" "bragging rights" "face the same opponent again" -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:20PM
Who said anything about trying to sell the game? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 3:26PM
See: NFL Preseason. TV gets content. Coaches do what they please. ** -- Maroon Baboon 06/11/2016 12:07AM
You are comparing apples to oranges because the NFL Preason -- VTHokie2000 06/11/2016 9:52PM
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
Are you thinking 7 conference games... -- hokieball 06/10/2016 10:11AM
While I would love this arrangement -- hokieone 06/10/2016 09:05AM
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
No ncaa issues. the CCG mod allows either a division setup or -- daveinop 06/10/2016 09:25AM
Thanks. I was just thinking out loud more or less -- hokieone 06/10/2016 09:36AM
