NCAAF is becoming more and more anti-competitive.

I mean this in terms of market structures (we basically have a duopoly now). And this translates to on the field anti-competitiveness as well. Pick a few random P2 schools and go back and look at their schedules from back in the 1970s or 80s. They used to play a REAL schedule. Real OOC road games. I was watching a 1970s Oklahoma at USC recording on YouTube this week--a September road game for the Sooners. Now, it's three or four home cupcakes. And if we're lucky, a good match up at some lame neutral site venue like Atlanta or Jerry's World. And the SEC is expanding for UT and OU but NOT playing more conference games? Total trash. Everyone's trying to keep their skirts pressed for the CFP. And the ACC isn't innocent in this. With as many teams as we have now, we should be playing MORE conference games. Clemson and FSU don't want to do it since they have in-state OOC rivals. Plus, every third year they have to play ND. What a joke, these are the schools crying the hardest to go to the SEC, but they can't handle ND, UF or USCe and 9 ACC games? Please. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 8/17/2023, 12:38:20 AM

If there is 1 vote a conference plus ND's 1, why would they vote that in???
Stech 08/16/23 02:33 PM ET
Jeez, they haven't even played one game, yet.

Heaven forbid the SEC wouldn't maximize profits for two years.**

Hard pass on any option that doesn't include 5 conf champs

12 at-large will be like the B1G-SEC Challenge. Except for football.**

The second option would benefit ND the most and would assure their

Our best bet is to set up a completing CFP through the NCAA.

Options dwindling as California, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State
WBGV 08/16/23 01:47 AM ET
At this point maybe they can try an East West split
Truthahn 08/16/23 01:29 PM ET
I find it hard to believe that the Big-10 won’t take another one of them
I85Hokie 08/16/23 09:02 AM ET
that may be the biggest bug for the ACC as well

OK State and TCU to ACC. Maybe even Texas Tech and KU.

I say keep it at 6 highest ranked conference champions. Or better yet,
