Based on this argument, which I don't necessarily disagree with the logic,

then are you suggesting March Madness should only be a 32 team (31 conference champions and 1 at-large team) field? I ask because there is talk of expanding the field. If the 6th or 7th best team in a conference is able to compete for a national championship in basketball, then why shouldn't football receive that same luxury?

We will eventually end up with a 4–4 – 2–2 – whatever scenario.

I think we end up with a ratings based model

Let's make the P2 really mad and do a 10-6 model.

Basketball and football is apples and oranges.

As the P2s continue consolidating top tier teams, there will come a point

Deal me in
Maroon Baboon 06/06/25 03:05 PM ET
I don't think it will be arranged that way.
Maroon Baboon 06/06/25 09:20 AM ET
No conference championship games. And your second point is incorrect
hokieZ71 06/06/25 11:00 AM ET
My point isn't incorrect. It's just highly unlikely. And I concede that.

If and when the P2's have 20 teams each, then there is

Yeah, definitely won't be a 4-4-4.

I'm not making it a Big12 vs ACC thing. The Big 12 and ACC are equals.

Someone get Don King on the phone so he can promote the PPV ACC vs. Big XII

It's wishful thinking that the P2 will surrender any money or power...
EDGEMAN 06/06/25 08:48 AM ET
That's why they will offer 4-4-2-2
