[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 732089, member: 2426"] The biggest problem with pods is that a conference cannot have a championship game with a pod system. The ACC has looked at it before and has petitioned to be allowed to have a championship game with a pod system but was denied. The rules used to state that a championship game could only be played if a conference has two divisions and the division champions play each other. The Big 12 wanted to have a championship game after the playoffs started. The ACC pushed the P5 to change the rules to allow conferences to decide for themselves how to determine the players in the championship game. The P5 instead changed the rules so that a conference either has to have two divisions or have every team play every other team in the conference. That basically allowed the Big 12 to have a championship game but denied the ACC's request to enter a pod system. Basically, the P5 group will not allow it. The ACC is probably thinking that the current situation could provide them with an opportunity to demonstrate a pod system with hopes of getting permission to use it later. [/QUOTE]
