Message: [QUOTE="Lou_C, post: 1224932, member: 3201"] Anyway, back on topic...the selection committee results actually inform this non-divisional question quite strongly. All the conference champions were fortunate this year to have highly ranked opponents. But look at how many lowly rated teams have appeared in championship games, ACC and otherwise over the years. It may not have mattered with FSU undefeated (but it very well may HAVE mattered), but if FSU was facing an 8-4 unranked Duke or 25th ranked GT in that game, and won a close game, we might have had trouble. I think it's going to be relatively important that the conference championship game features ranked opponents, preferably ranked high enough so a loss doesn't knock them out of the final top 25. A divisionless system, pitting the two best (and hopefully highest ranked, although no guarantees with our OOC SEC games to finish the season), gives the best chance of a credible CCG win. [/QUOTE]
