[QUOTE="NorthsideJacket, post: 806390, member: 4232"] Excellent article from Andy Staples in The Athletic -- it's behind a paywall, but for those who have a subscription: [URL='https://theathletic.com/2656231/2021/06/17/when-new-college-football-playoff-format-starts-will-divisions-be-harmful-dear-andy/']Eliminate Divisions in Conference[/URL] His argument here is that with the new proposal, divisions in the conferences become a 'negative' to the conferences so all should revert back to a single conference standing (no divisions). A popular proposal being discussed for the 12 team SEC is described by Staples here: "Three permanent rivals would be declared for each school. The other opponents would cycle through evenly, allowing teams to face one another twice every four years. That way, a player who spends four years at an SEC school would be guaranteed to play in every SEC stadium at least once." Looking at the possibility closer, I see two efficient ways of doing it, both with keeping an 8 game ACC schedule.

The 8 game conference schedule still gives you OOC flexibility. Again, the whole impetus of this is the elimination of divisions to better situate yourself (conference) for the new selection criteria (six highest ranked conference champions, etc). Plus, it has you playing all teams in the conference worst case every other year. What would be your choices for the 3 or 4 permanents? [/QUOTE]
