top teams would opt out of conf champ games

if those games are to remain, they need an incentive for top teams to play them...a bye, home field...something too much $ made in those games to cancel them outright

I think autobids for non P2 champs will stay. But they won’t get byes.

Byes generate losers

And sales.**

Wouldn't adding 4 more teams to eliminate byes generate more income?**
EDGEMAN 01/04/25 01:47 PM ET
it was a joke because of "buys" instead of "byes"**
Pylons 01/04/25 02:21 PM ET
Ah, the spell check/replace burned me...lol**

Playoffs are almost irrelevant. P2 wants to keep other conferences alive….

P2 elevating to a new division basically

So the ACC is two and 10 in bowl games, the question is…

this is true
Vippie1 01/03/25 03:00 PM ET
Why do you think that's coming?
Pylons 01/02/25 01:28 PM ET
The playoff and auto-bids are a distraction

Maybe they should form an Alliance, I heard that worked really well. 🤣🤣**
Stech 01/01/25 10:13 PM ET
when is the next Pac 12/ACC Alliance working group meeting?**
MrBayAreaHokie 01/02/25 05:08 PM ET
I actually think the solution lies along a merger/alliance path. BUT
HokieAl 01/03/25 09:32 AM ET
Whenever the Big 10 is available, they were part of the alliance also.**

Second Tuesday of next week. 🤣**

I think there should still be auto bids but just seed everyone together

yeah the auto bids to non-P2 conferences
Vippie1 01/02/25 09:26 AM ET
if you win connference you should get 1st round home game
AnotherTechW 01/02/25 08:22 AM ET
That will be the deal next year for sure.**
TheFacts 01/01/25 06:15 PM ET
Nope. if you can't win your conference, you should not get a bye. **
Big12 guy 01/01/25 05:11 PM ET
I vote for "no" byes for anyone.
EDGEMAN 01/02/25 07:25 AM ET
I think this is where we are headed. They will expand to 16, and you watch,
