Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 1049175, member: 3609"] The championship game rule was put together by the NCAA for a D-3 conference in Pa so they could determine in a fair and equitable manner who got the conference's bid to the NCAA D-3 football playoffs. There were interviews with NCAA hierarchy folks in which they admitted the SEC caught them with their pants down when they expanded to 12 and announced they were having a championship game under the rule. They NEVER expected a D-1 conference to use the rule. I think the NCAA is willing to change the rule for D-1A so that divisions are no longer required in order to have a championship game because an NCAA championship bid is not involved because they're not running the bowl system or this new playoff. It doesn't cost them anything and they probably feel it could be one point to help keep the P5 in the NCAA instead of going off on their own. [/QUOTE]
