Would you like a 10 conference game schedule?

I was watching Phillips speech during the ACC spring game and was surprised to hear Phillips mentioned a 10 game schedule. Granted he was just trying to answer if the 24 team playoff would undermine a regular season, but he won't mention it unless he knew something. Then I saw this from X: @RossDellenger A nugget in here: The Big Ten discussed with its football coaches earlier this week the idea of playing 10 conference games, something that looms as the league and SEC explore self-governance models. ------------ The good thing about ten conference game schedule for the B10 is that they can implement the 3-7-7 schedule.

With 17 teams and 10 conference games, we can do 4-6-6. Four rival games!**

Maybe. Because there are no divisions, there is a greater risk a team may

Data says that ACC should absolutely not go to 10 conference games

Well, that's somewhat deceptive. At least for the ACC and B12,

Apologies. From just reading it, it's tough to differentiate between

Thanks. This proves the P2 have an incentive to move to 10 game schedule. **

It very simply depends on which OOC games you eliminate.

If conferences can't be round robin, they should play as many conference
Maroon Baboon • 05/24/26 06:02 PM ET
First choice would be smaller conferences so we can play round. Robin.

I think the 24 team playoff will lead to a 10 game conference schedule.
