Wait and stand firm on Conference Champions.

If SEC and B1G won't play, insist on 10 champions vs P5 only. Do not fold.

Why wouldn't the FBS Conferences vote for a Conf Champ Auto bid? Except SEC
Stech • 08/02/22 07:21 AM ET
My understanding is that the votes are
Sunsetunderground • 08/02/22 05:05 PM ET
Each Conference and Notre Dame get 1 vote, so how is that possible?**
Stech • 08/02/22 06:50 PM ET
The SEC Plan had AQ's but The Alliance voted it down. The ACC/PAC may well
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 01:21 PM ET
Link that, because I have never seen where they supported Auto bids, and
Stech • 08/02/22 01:29 PM ET
There are lots of articles out there - just google and you will find**
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 06:59 PM ET
Yes - of course they dont want anything to do with AQs now. Like I said
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 05:55 PM ET
Selfish acts breed selfish acts, The SEC & the B1G have to deal with that.**
Stech • 08/02/22 06:57 PM ET
They are not being selfish. They are doing what is best for their
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 07:02 PM ET
You are making it more palatable, but yeah, it's being selfish. That's not
Stech • 08/03/22 02:04 PM ET
You do know that one of the P2 does not consist of any southern teams,
133193Hokie • 08/03/22 04:39 PM ET
Deep South check, Mid-West check, the rest is slim to none Now if the P2
Stech • 08/03/22 05:02 PM ET
Absolutely agree! Why the hate for B1G and SEC? They acted appropriately.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 11:31 AM ET
Auto bids for top six confs actually. Plus byes for the top four confs
Truthahn • 08/02/22 01:54 PM ET
The ACC has no leverage to "insist" on anything at this point....**
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 05:56 PM ET
They do if 5 Conferences join them. They do that & they have all the votes
Stech • 08/02/22 06:59 PM ET
Cool - all the other conferences can do what they want. Meanwhile the SEC
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 07:05 PM ET
Yeah, but not an auto bid for all 10 Conferences, that’s a huge difference.**
Stech • 08/02/22 02:12 PM ET
Yes, not all 10. That would be crazy talk.
Truthahn • 08/02/22 02:31 PM ET
That's what happens when you try to take all the playoff spots and money.
Stech • 08/02/22 06:47 PM ET
I don't think the ACC rejected it because of the auto bid provision. They
Maroon Baboon • 08/02/22 10:54 AM ET
Yeah all this revisionist history
Vippie1 • 08/02/22 05:48 PM ET
Why I'm not all that interested in these playoff numbers. ACC's been toast.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 11:35 AM ET
None of the these people saying "Yeah, we should have taken the deal"
Maroon Baboon • 08/02/22 06:05 PM ET
Wait and stand firm on Conference Champions. ◄
HOO86 • 08/02/22 07:57 AM ET
Why wait? Whatever we want, propose it for next year. Take the upper hand.
Truthahn • 08/02/22 02:53 PM ET
Until 2025 it has to be unanimous, he's just saying if you can't get that
Stech • 08/02/22 07:09 PM ET
If I am SEC/B1G - i am tickled pink to leave it at (4) at this point.
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 01:33 PM ET
The SEC and The B1G are thinking waaaay bigger than this.
33laszlo99 • 08/02/22 03:12 PM ET
The SEC and BIG are going to be the Equivalent to the NFC and AFC. They
133193Hokie • 08/02/22 06:00 PM ET
They are....
2hhoop3 • 08/03/22 04:35 PM ET
I disagree about the Big 10
Truthahn • 08/02/22 01:36 PM ET
This! If B1G and SEC want to regress... so be it
gman86 • 08/02/22 10:03 AM ET
I think the B10 would break
Truthahn • 08/02/22 01:40 PM ET
If it gets too lopsided this is the only way IMO. Break up the LIV playoffs
Truthahn • 08/02/22 01:35 PM ET
This would be so cool. Just ignore the BIG and SEC. **
Hokester • 08/02/22 12:38 PM ET
The SEC/B1G champ would be viewed as the real national champion
Maroon Baboon • 08/02/22 12:55 PM ET
If they break away and leave schools like VT behind, they will lose people.
Stech • 08/02/22 01:09 PM ET
Already tuned it out in 2022
HOO86 • 08/02/22 07:58 PM ET
Cause you and Stech's dream of ND and Texas saving the ACC never came true.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 03:59 PM ET
Thanks Rama, another name, another flame!!**
Stech • 08/03/22 04:04 PM ET
Dude, you've attacked more people on this board than anyone.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 04:11 PM ET
Making stuff again, I have 13,498 LIkes and have never been banned.
Stech • 08/03/22 04:26 PM ET
U been SO wrong for SO long, but this is legit. OSU-Michigan loses ratings.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:28 PM ET
Too bad the B10 did not stick to the Alliance.
Truthahn • 08/02/22 01:49 PM ET
IF the ACC EVER thought the B1G was friends, they were idiots.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/02/22 01:58 PM ET
How was the ACC the Big Ten's friend if it was secretly trying....
TerryD • 08/03/22 12:03 PM ET
College Football is professional football w/o a Commissioner & Rules, so
Stech • 08/03/22 01:09 PM ET
But it was actually in their self interest, IMO.
Truthahn • 08/02/22 02:59 PM ET
All true.
HOO86 • 08/02/22 09:36 PM ET
Wrong...as usual. Plenty of quality programs in this new B1G. they can win.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 03:56 PM ET
How many....
2hhoop3 • 08/03/22 04:09 PM ET
You meant to post, half as many as Bama? Saban's the difference here.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/03/22 04:23 PM ET
Thanks for making my point.......
2hhoop3 • 08/03/22 04:44 PM ET
Proved that plenty of schools outside of the SEC have done it.
BBBDatVT_ • 08/04/22 08:23 AM ET
You did prove.....
2hhoop3 • 08/04/22 10:00 AM ET
Definitely; but I doubt a CFP decision will precede D1 structural decisions
daveinop • 08/02/22 08:47 AM ET
I could see G5 agreeing with 2 guaranteed spots
HokieAl • 08/02/22 11:01 AM ET
The G5s could earn more spots as at-large, but will they though? If each
VTHokie2000 • 08/02/22 11:36 AM ET
Good point
33laszlo99 • 08/02/22 12:47 PM ET
This is where it gets interesting
HokieAl • 08/02/22 12:39 PM ET
WRT BYU, I believe all the P5 conferences considered BYU to be a P5
VTHokie2000 • 08/02/22 02:06 PM ET
I agree that using all at large makes the most sense
HokieAl • 08/02/22 02:24 PM ET
Even if the Playoff opts to give "automatic bids" to the Top 6 conference
VTHokie2000 • 08/02/22 02:42 PM ET
The G5 has 5 votes, all they need is one more Conf to vote Automatic bid 4
Stech • 08/02/22 11:41 AM ET
B12, ACC, and PAC should join up with that
Truthahn • 08/03/22 01:40 PM ET
If I understand.....
2hhoop3 • 08/02/22 11:55 AM ET
The G5 won’t be a united block
HokieAl • 08/02/22 12:45 PM ET
You could be.....
2hhoop3 • 08/02/22 01:39 PM ET
In your opinion, not mine WADR.**
Stech • 08/02/22 12:49 PM ET
Of course. It’s all just speculation and opinions. **
HokieAl • 08/02/22 12:53 PM ET
I understand that point of view, but I can't see them voting against
Stech • 08/02/22 01:04 PM ET
Because the risk is that G5 gets nothing
HokieAl • 08/02/22 07:01 PM ET
That's the way I see it too, but I am trying to see if I missed anything.
Stech • 08/02/22 12:30 PM ET
Concur with that.....
2hhoop3 • 08/02/22 12:46 PM ET
If this isn't a sign the world is ending, not sure what is, we agree! -:)
Stech • 08/02/22 01:24 PM ET
Question is not what you think it should be, it's who has the most votes.
