Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 1056838, member: 683"] That's desirable in a way though, as you don't want a rematch of teams in the championship because they could end up splitting their games and reduce both teams bowl desirability. Especially when you have a title contender and a 2nd highly-ranked team. Say undefeated FSU has to play 11-1 Clemson, who they already beat. FSU has nothing to gain by winning as they are already likely a top 4 team, but Clemson goes from a possible top 5 team into the category with several 2-loss teams and may not get one of the elite non-playoff bowls or even a 2nd playoff berth for the conference (not likely until the playoffs are expanded). Clemson wins and good for them, they're probably in the playoffs. But one P5 conference will be left out each season - what if the other four champs are all undefeated or even 12-1 also? There is benefit to the conference championship being more of a coronation than a competitive game. [/QUOTE]
