If UT Loses CCG...

Not sure I get what you mean. The winner of each of those games wins the conference, how is that not "like a championship game"?



Again, not sure I follow you. Do you mean having a CCG allows for 1 more game to be played? Not sure the point you were trying to make.



Not sure the relevance, I was solely discussing conference play. OOC schedule would still be left to each team, status quo, no change, not sure how that is "unfair". Maybe I missed your point?

Texas, GTech, Alabama & Florida will have played 13 games instead of 12 for Oregon, Oregon State & Pitt/ Cincy. That makes it completely unfair because the conference championship game would be a 13th game that pairs 2 "good" teams. The Big East, Big 11, & Pac-10 are eliminating 1 "good" matchup.

There is an inherent unfairness with schools OOC schedule that could amount to a 4 game difference in "good" matchups.

That is too big of a variable to have a legitimate National Championship system that we have......
 
Yeah, I don't like this north/south business. Things always seem to be out of cycle. When one us up the other is down. It's not a natural rivalry either. I think UT and CU have more in common than CU and KSU or ISU.

I'm really hoping CU gets a great coach, assuming Hawk is gone. It took Texas the better part of 15 years to get the right guy.

OK gotcha. Yeah the "extra" game for the CCG can certainly be both a blessing and a curse. I think those conferences felt that it would always be a positive by adding another strong matchup for their champion in order to help their national title chances, and if not, then at least they had an "auto-bid" and a big payday already set for their conference "champion".

I really don't like the Big Ten setup since they don't play everybody in their conference and can have a tie for the title. This year just worked out where Ohio State and Iowa played.

The Big East only has 8 members, so they get 5 OOC games per season compared to the Pac Ten who now plays 9 conference games and only 3 OOC matchups. Both have their good and bad points. IMO the MWC with 9 teams and 8 conference games with 4 OOC games is the best setup.

The OOC argument is harder to gauge since some schools will still schedule multiple weak opponents if they have 3, 4, or 5 OOC games (K-State anyone?).

In the end it would be great to have a "legitimate national championship system" (PLAYOFF!)

But, I think we were just trying to spitball better ideas for conference championships first.
 
I'm waiting for the season where 6 or 8 teams end up undefeated, with bowl games matching them up with plenty of undefeated winners.
