Re-posted from Conference Realignment Board:
From the article:
If a conference champion was among the top six in the rankings, it would automatically qualify for the four-team playoff. The top four ranked conference champions among the top six would qualify and if less than four conference champions were among the top six teams then the remaining spots would be filled by the highest ranked non-conference champions or an independent (Notre Dame, BYU, Army or Navy).
This achieves the same result I had suggested for the compromise (top 3 conference champions but an at-large could bump a fourth conference champ if they were 'x' spots ahead of the fourth conference champ).
This is a cleaner way of addressing and communicating both the #2 Alabama of 2011 issue and the #6 Louisville of 2006 and the #6 Utah of 2008 issues.
If the BiG, Pac, Big East, and ACC could rally around this proposal they would be smart to do so.
ACC commissioner John Swofford said he like's the simplicity of No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3.
Well, that confirms it. He's an idiot.
Cheers,
Neil
