[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 729846, member: 1668"] “What we’ve suggested is if they play conference games only plus one game — because we know the ACC and SEC like to play their rivalry games — if they went in that direction, then we’d provide an alternative,” said Gary Stokan, the CEO of Peach Bowl Inc., which operates the annual Kickoff Games. “We’ve said we’ll match up West Virginia versus Virginia on Monday night on ESPN on Labor Day, and then the next week we’ll play the North Carolina-Auburn game that’s scheduled,” Stokan said. The Tar Heels and Tigers are are scheduled to play the third and final Kickoff Game this season on Sept. 12. Stokan’s plan lets Florida and Georgia exit to play their ACC/SEC games and gives WVU, Virginia, UNC and Auburn, who do not have an annual non-conference rivalry game, a simple “plus one” game outside of conference play. Stokan said he believes that if the Big 12, ACC and SEC nix non-conference games and select a “plus one” model, then the Power 5 will also agree to only play Power 5 teams in their non-conference game. If that’s the outcome, there could be competition for those non-conference games, but the Kickoff Games will make it easy on WVU, Virginia, North Carolina and Auburn.
