[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 263915, member: 2426"] I'm not sure the I agree with you about GT dropping the mutts game, even if we thought it hurt our post season chances. We play Clemson every year while this year VT plays Syracuse and Boston College. The conferences decide who their conference schedule and who their champion is. In BBall, most conferences use the conference tournament. The regular season ACC champion is most likely going to get then the NCAA tournament, but there have been mid-majors in the last few years that only lost 2-3-4 games including a loss in the conference championship game that didn't make the NCAA tournament. If those teams want the regular season games to determine the champion, they have to take it up with the conference, not the NCAA. If you pay attention to high school football, some teams do the kinds of things you listed. In high school, only region games matter. Some teams schedule cupcake opponents, while some schedule really tough opponents out of region. Some coaches think that easy to win games get the team ramped up, while other coaches believe that playing top opponents gets their team ready for the playoffs. If a conference has a 7-6 champion, they will probably be seeded low, and will probably lose the first game. But, if a team won their conference at 7-6 and then beat say: Michigan in the first round, Alabama in the second round, and Louisville in the championship game, would you still say that they didn't deserve to be there?
