I think the 24 team playoff will lead to a 10 game conference schedule.

As you said money is the issue. More conference games mean more money for the SEC and the B10. That's not necessarily true for the ACC and the B12 but they will follow if the P2 move first.

With 17 teams and 10 conference games, we can do 4-6-6. Four rival games!**
RandomAsianGuy 05/27/26 01:03 PM ET
Maybe. Because there are no divisions, there is a greater risk a team may

Data says that ACC should absolutely not go to 10 conference games

Well, that's somewhat deceptive. At least for the ACC and B12,

Thanks. This proves the P2 have an incentive to move to 10 game schedule. **

It very simply depends on which OOC games you eliminate.

If conferences can't be round robin, they should play as many conference

First choice would be smaller conferences so we can play round. Robin.
