Message: [QUOTE="TDTOrange, post: 851761, member: 509"] Just asking because I see this come up a lot. How do you determine #1 & #2 in conference when these teams will not have played equivalent schedules? A conference level BCS poll? That sounds like a great idea. When qualifying for a conference championship game, I agree with Spurrier and his thoughts that only your division record should count. I'd hate for a team to sneak into championship games because they happened to avoid the top 3 teams due to the schedule makers. There need to be round-robin divisions to have any semblance of competitive balance. I'm not married to the notion that the divisions need to be static year over year, but it helps in developing rivalries over time. Unfortunately with the way schools are jumping leagues these days, they don't leave time for rivaliries to develop, so now it's do whatever you need to maximize your conference's profile. [/QUOTE]
