9-3 Iowa State or Okie St.?

follow the $$$

teams like that aren't going to have great TV ratings, even in the playoff

I am looking at the two conference champs that don' tt make the top four slots.  They would get an at large bid as it's currently done.

I'd guess you'd have the Pac Whatever champ, if it survives at all, and the MWC champ, which would be a sad group.

Long term, I think conferences will experience de-alignment.  

Short term, next 10-20 years, I think we're going to be an AFC / NFC scenario. 

B1G vs SEC, 8 outta ten teams int the playoff.  4 spots up for grabs, until the playoff expands to 16.  That's the ultimate goal IMO.

TCU didn't need the $$$ to win the B12, but they needed the invite to the conference

no program is ever going to agree to taking millions of dollars less, even if they think they can win more games

games against who?

I'm guessing going forward the 12-team playoff is going to be stacked with B1G and SEC teams, the ACC (for now) and ND

winning the B12 and the PAC isn't going to get you in.

The ACC is terrible, I'm curious why you keep bringing them up?  The New B12 is a much better football conference than the ACC.

The playoff should be winner of the 4 major conferences and 4 at large for 8 teams

indeed.  regardless i would imagine both leagues will produce a top 12 qual team virtually every season that’s not that hard.

to the dude that referenced cinci getting in remember the yr they did that they won at notre dame and went undefeated and it was a yr nd otherwise had a good record.

We now have only four P5 conferences if we include the ACC and not the Pac 4.  Something will have to give.  And I don't think the ACC is all that bad in football.

according to the pre-season polls.....

national perception is that the ACC is better than the B12

perception is not reality, but.....

The ACC has three historically near elite programs, the B12 has none.  The ACC drops off pretty fast though to mediocrity, and worse.

Preseason polls, rat's ass.

Last year's final AP Poll:

2 TCU (new B12)
10 Utah (new B12)
11 FSU (ACC)
13 Clemson (ACC)
14 Kansas State (new B12)
22 Pitt (ACC)

new B12 avg rank 8.7, ACC avg rank 15.3.  I rest my case :)

The ACC only has one program performing  at an elite level in any consistent matter that is relevant in 2023, and a couple of fading near-helmets.  The middle to bottom falls quickly to trash.  The B12 is much more solid all the way through.

You missed the New B12's Cincinnati with 1 vote.  

Now, go ahead and add up total points for each conference, see how that shakes out. :)
