What about if the Playoff Committee frowns upon conference foes

scheduling OOC games against each other? I believe the UNC-Wake series will be the first time the Committee could have to deal with that issue. Before the ACC implements or allowing OOC against conference foes to count towards the P5 requirement, shouldn't the conference get some sort of opinion from the Committee (even if it is informal)? The last thing the conference or any school wants to happen is for a school to be left out of the Playoffs because it played an OOC game against a conference foe instead of a team from another P5 conference.

Solving the 8:2 vs 9 conference games riddle -- gman86 08/09/2016 5:03PM

No decision was made on the 9 game, shelved it for awhile ** -- goldendomer 08/12/2016 11:02AM

My imperfect solution -- Vippie1 08/11/2016 10:17AM

Actually, something like this is what the NCAA rejected. No ACC love there. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/11/2016 10:45AM

Conferences voted it down, led by Delaney ** -- Red Hokie 08/11/2016 2:02PM

And at the same time, they hooked the Big12 up. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/11/2016 3:01PM

THIS. And any additional "rivalries" can be played OOC. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/11/2016 10:42AM

Teams that have an issue it could also opt out of playing ND... -- Mr. Touchdown 08/11/2016 10:15AM

I like 9-1 with ND counting as one of the 9 if you play them. ** -- Stech 08/10/2016 6:30PM

Me as well, but can it work with ND playing 5 teams? -- BUGGZY 08/10/2016 9:26PM

All conference games need to count -- LaneRat 08/10/2016 4:16PM

The great thing here is that the fans win either way -- Hokie Bird 08/10/2016 2:27PM

Hand it to the Beamer Era they did not attempt to pad like Dooley did ** -- BigCrumpy 08/10/2016 3:19PM

Dooley did not have the advantage of a conference schedule. As an -- Femoyer Hokie 08/10/2016 4:43PM

Yeah, we played a lot of good teams. Problem was -- reestuart 08/10/2016 8:05PM

I recommend the simple approach -- EDGEMAN 08/10/2016 12:52PM

What about if the Playoff Committee frowns upon conference foes -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2016 1:06PM

Then go with a 9+1 schedule, and elminate the cross-over game! -- EDGEMAN 08/10/2016 5:33PM

As long as the ACC uses the zipper model then I believe the -- VTHokie2000 08/10/2016 5:50PM

The ACC has already suggested the idea of scheduling other division games.. -- EDGEMAN 08/11/2016 10:01AM

Reduced from what? Teams are currently playing their rival 0 times as OOC -- VTHokie2000 08/11/2016 11:49AM

So if the committee "frowns" on scheduling ACC teams OOC, then... -- EDGEMAN 08/12/2016 09:41AM

I am not following your logic. How is the ACC playing a 9-game -- VTHokie2000 08/12/2016 10:50AM

++ for creativity ** -- daveinop 08/09/2016 5:49PM
