Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4984829, member: 3609"] Under rules announced previously, a team had to be a conference champion to be one of the 4 teams getting byes. Using last season as an example, if Louisville had beaten FSU, but was not ranked in the top 4, both of them would not have received 1st round byes. FSU's ceiling would have been #5 as a non-champion. ND as an independent also has #5 as its ceiling, and they are perfectly agreeable to that. Sankey put in that proviso as a way 1. to get people to agree to the expansion to 12 and 2. keep ND from joining the ACC or B1G. [/QUOTE]
