Lots fo discussion here about strength of Big 12 versus ACC and who is stronger if/when BIG and SEC split off. What has surprised me is the opinion from so many is that the Big 12 is/will be better than ACC as a conference. That said, how/why does ACC get a better allocation of the recently negotiated CFP payoff? Going into the next round of realignment, it is still up for debate as to which is stronger as alternative to the P2 - at least from the eyes of ESPN. from Yahoo sports: "The Big Ten and SEC will combine to earn about 58% of the CFP’s base distribution (29% each). The figure would greatly exceed the ACC and Big 12’s combined distribution number, which is expected to be around 32%. The ACC will get 17.1% while the Big 12 receives 14.7%. The remaining amount (roughly 10%) will be distributed to Notre Dame and the 64 Group of Five teams."
