Championship games make little sense at this point.

So much goes into putting on a football game, and so much recovery is needed after the game, that if the playoff is becoming the end all, be all of the football season, there’s just no sense in conference title games. Unless they are made part of the playoff, like the NFL, which they absolutely will not in college. College football has an identity crisis. It can’t figure out if it wants to be the NFL or be what it always was. I think the worst thing it can do is try to settle in some middle ground like where it finds itself now.

Will increase parity within each “level” and decrease it between levels**
El Hokie • 01/20/25 05:44 PM ET
You all laughed when I recommended that an undefeated ACC team should opt
PadrosWindup • 01/20/25 12:46 PM ET
If a team opts out, they should be disqualified from the CFP.**
reestuart • 01/20/25 01:59 PM ET
Who laughed at that? TIA, I don’t remember people laughing, but I do
Stech • 01/20/25 12:55 PM ET
I’m impressed that they are trying to be creative. BUT
HokieAl • 01/20/25 11:14 AM ET
IMHO he is trying to end CCG’s and expand to 16 team playoff. He doesn’t
Stech • 01/20/25 01:48 PM ET
SECCG didn’t do UGA any favors….**
hokieZ71 • 01/20/25 03:46 PM ET
Agreed they lost their QB, but they still got in the Playoff. P2 want CCG’s

hokieZ71 • 01/20/25 04:20 PM ET
I agree the CCG is outdated, but the SEC & B1G will fight for them, it’s $$
Stech • 01/20/25 05:05 PM ET
Sounds a little desperate
1947Sunbowl • 01/20/25 08:29 AM ET
That is because the ACC "is" desperate. **
wwhokie1 • 01/22/25 11:52 AM ET
That model would work well if the ACC is guaranteed two spots
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 12:00 AM ET
If the FBS Playoffs guarantees spots to only some of the 10 FBS conferences
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 06:32 AM ET
Not hard to circumvent.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 01:51 PM ET
That's not just like now. Now it's the top ranked conference champions.
wwhokie1 • 01/20/25 07:47 PM ET
Except the P2 conferences and networks won't go for that because they won't
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 02:01 PM ET
Well
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 02:15 PM ET
The P2 conferences can try to circumvent antitrust laws, but it doesn't
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 02:58 PM ET
So, you are saying the antitrust may not deter the P2?
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 03:10 PM ET
Not from trying, but it doesn’t mean they’ll ultimately keep it, the courts
Stech • 01/20/25 03:57 PM ET
Exactly. In this case the end is all that matters.**
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 03:59 PM ET
2 vs. 3 in the Championship Game? That will do wonders for attendance and
Maroon Baboon • 01/19/25 10:33 PM ET
Honestly, I am encouraged that he’s reaching for innovative solutions
lawhokie • 01/20/25 11:07 AM ET
IMHO, he’s worried about losing his job, if only 1 ACC team makes PO, fired
Stech • 01/20/25 01:57 PM ET
There are only a limited number of answers to your question
HokieAl • 01/20/25 11:21 AM ET
He’s a Notre Dame homer, but he’s not dumb. I think he’s trying to kill CCG
