*** Official Super Conference Thread ***

[SUPERCOACH]

Does anyone know if a league is allowed to have a league playoff? With all this super conference talk going around, I just thought it would be cool to have the top 2 seeds from each division in a playoff type scenario. Maybe #1 West vs #2 East and vice versa in first round play and winners meet at the Dome. I know it will probably never happen, but it would be cool with a 16 team SEC and all the talent in it. Btw, go back a couple years and play out that scenario and you get some really awesome games.

I am hoping we will get to that eventually.  I don't know if the current rules would allow for it or not, but once the conferences start to get bigger maybe they will change it.

The current NCAA football rules allow a conference with 12 or more members to have a championship game. Playoffs are not allowed at this time.

That is what I thought.  But do the rules explicitly forbid such a playoff game, or do they just not address it?

I am not sure of the exact wording but it is something like this: A conference of 12 or more can be split into divisons and a single championship game can be played to determine the conference winner.

The regular season schedule serves as the playoff for the conference and then the two teams from each side of the conference play for the championship.

The ACC seems a little concerned:

The ACC presidents are considering increasing the buyout for member schools to leave the conference, according to two sources close to the ACC.

Anybody else hear Tony say he didn't think we had a 14th team.

Yeah, and for once I think I have to disagree with TB. I can't imagine that Mike Slive and the rest of the suits in B'ham haven't got some idea of who they wanted to invite. It may not be even unofficial yet, but I am pretty sure that there is some movement with at least one school, possibly more.

I was thinking he was trying to get us up in a frenzy.

93.7 The Zone has a discussion on now about the loss of the Big East.  People in NY are pissed about demise of the conference.  Villanova and others without a big-time football team are butt hurt over this, but nobody has any power to stop the bailing out by Syracuse and Pitt.

I wonder if they use that much of the Bible verse when they are among each other? RTR!
