Yeah I don't see why changing things in this unprecedented year has to mean the changes are permanent. I do happen to think the divisional model might be worse than the non-divisional model, though. I get that it changes the dynamics of conference traditions, but CCG quality would be better across all 5 conferences, and it would truly be about the two best teams, not just the best team from each division.
Yeah I get it. I love divisions and playing the same teams every year as we have discussed before. Sometimes it doesn’t work out and sometimes it does. I think with bigger conferences that only play 8 conference games it would be dumb to take the two best teams since schedules are so imbalanced but I could see it working better for the pac 12 to move to more of a big 12 model even though they all play each other.
How are you going to get the north ADs to supports this one-time do away with division so CU can play exception?
You tell them this is a weird year and you are trying to get the most exposure out of each game that you can. If there are two undefeated teams that have played two more games than a one loss north team it makes sense for this year and this year only to do so and no team is losing a game because they are all playing next weekend either way.
ADs aren’t making the decisions in the Pac 12.
Good luck with that convo. No need to do anything until games played this weekend.
This has to be generated by them. Otherwise, it ain’t happening. You better hope RG is twisting g arms.
Usc runs this conference and if they want it to happen it likely will
Yes, Mike Bohn advocating for CU, will be priceless.
They aren’t advocating to help CU, they are advocating to help their football team.
That’ll fly.
Hopefully RG being on the playoff committee can lend some credibility to USCs potential to move up if they beat CU. That is what you’re really selling.
Fair point, although TV exposure and an extra couple weeks of practice are nice.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe CBS has some money available to spend to stay relevant in the college football market. They may not be able to hit the ESPN money amount, but maybe a chance for a come up for the Pac???
It has been a huge money maker for them with the ratings those sec games pulled in but who knows. Maybe they aren’t interested in paying a ton of money, their last deal with the sec was the best deal in all of sports for them.
