I am coming around to thinking the ACCCG is dumb

Why? With a large conference, there are simply too many big matchups that don’t get scheduled. The Hoos did not play ANYONE at the top of the conf this year other than Duke in the reg season. No Miami, Pitt, SMU or GT. The only conf game they won where the ACC team was better than 4-4, was their first Duke game. The thing people didnt like about Coastal and Atlantic divisions was it got boring ….maybe could solve this with less in-division games? Not sure. The cross-over game was the dumbest part of it all.

I'm wondering how the TV schedule would work with 8 first-round games

This has to be a big part of the discussion

That’s why I would like to see the Conf Champ Games go away. Army Navy week
Stech • 01/06/26 03:45 PM ET
They could start the season a week earlier to accomplish the same goal...
BROman Hokie • 01/09/26 10:16 AM ET
Agree on starting season week earlier, like Conf Rivalries on Thanksgiving

The conference championship games are useless in a larger playoff
cburgroop • 01/06/26 05:37 PM ET
For points 1 & 4, I think you will have cities and states lobbying to keep

The_VT_Rock • 01/06/26 04:09 PM ET
So they are still stuck on the same boring concepts. No surprise

Go to 10 regular season games if 16 team playoff?**
MDHokie79 • 01/05/26 04:35 PM ET
Nope, just do away with conference championship games.

We are 10 P4 games now, all P4 9 Conference and 1 other P4 as a minimum. **
Stech • 01/05/26 04:41 PM ET
Are championship games really needed if there is a playoff?
GoHokies84 • 01/04/26 03:27 PM ET
THey should go away, so the CFP can start earlier.**

Greedy TV execs and risk-adverse campus administrators will want to hold on
Maroon Baboon • 01/04/26 10:47 PM ET
I don't think so after they said Bama blow out didn't mater, but snail pace

Given that conferences receive 1 automatic bid to the playoffs, which team
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/26 05:22 PM ET
Don't conferences determine ranking of it's members?
EDGEMAN • 01/04/26 06:18 PM ET
All conferences do have a tiebreak process and currently that process does
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/26 09:03 PM ET
Agreed need to change tiebreakers, the goal is to get as many Conf teams as
Stech • 01/05/26 11:30 AM ET
Is it the best way though? For example, if ACC decides to use the Poll as

Stech, the goal is to get VT
Big12 guy • 01/05/26 12:01 PM ET
Agree Va Tech being successful is #1 but I would have 2 see the contract to
Stech • 01/05/26 01:59 PM ET
Umm, the ACC hasn't released a detailed "contract" of
Big12 guy • 01/05/26 02:38 PM ET
Without th uneven distribution contract, how can you project what VT makes?
Stech • 01/05/26 03:45 PM ET
I project the better they do, the more they will get paid. i
Big12 guy • 01/05/26 04:10 PM ET
I am not debating the further you go the more you make, but I would like to

Is it possible for VT to pull an Indiana if there are only 2 "respected"
