CCG Deregulation looks good
"Deregulation is expected to fly through and could be passed quickly by the NCAA board of directors. Both Swofford and Bowlsby have indicated there is no push-back from other conferences on the measure.
Then its up to conferences on how to determine their champion in the playoff era."

We still need to balance the divisions.

Yes, but we don't need to add, Just let Idaho go and play with 10.

I can live with that. Unless a program is bringing something like strength, travel help, new state/market that could help with a new TV deal and or recruiting.

JMU still fits that bill in all areas in my book.
Maybe even MSU for basketball? Taking this board's word for it.

STILL: We take those two and IF we drop Idaho = we are still unbalanced. I guess there would be no rush to drop Idaho then until another program within the footprint really steps up and offers the conference all the things in the above list.

Only real other reason to add would be to keep such a potential program from being taken by another conference - which at this point is a non-threat except for maybe JMU.

If the Swofford-plan goes into effect, you won't be required to have divisions in the first place. You can just have 11 teams playing a conference schedule, and then the top 2 meet in a CCG.

How can you choose a true top two with no divisions when you don't play every team? Divisions solve that by playing everyone in your division.

Or what if the east has two one loss teams and the west's best team has two losses to both of the two best east teams.

Drop Idaho and go to 10 teams by 2016 and then everyone will play all but one team each year.

Divisions also help build rivalries. Although you could wind up with the two best programs on the same side/division - it is still fair as all teams would have a shot at the title and politics could not play a role. without a tie on one side of the division. I like having our destiny in our own hands.

Besides, we are going to 12 anyway. Now whether we stay there or not is another thing. I think we need to bring in programs if they help in strength and TV Market. We need the exposure and $.

That's the point of the ACC proposed legislation though. Last year the top 2 teams didn't meet in the ACC title game. We got an over-matched Duke vs. FSU. If you recall, the Big XII almost never matched the two best teams because the divisions were so out of balance.

Under these rules you can select the teams any way you choose.

You can take #1 and #2 in the standings. (If there is a two-way tie, the tiebreaker determines home field).
You take #1 and #2 based on a rating system or a combination of rating systems.
You can take #1 in the standings and then pit them against the highest rated other team accoring to ratings.
You can take #1 in the standings a pit them against the highest rated team they didn't play in the regular season.
You can give the top seed to the team rated the highest in ratings, hosting the highest in the standings or vice versa.

The key is you have to tell everyone what the system is before the season and the system has to be transparent enough that people have a reasonable idea what a result on Saturday will do to the race.

I suppose leaving it up to a conference is ok - but I hope we simply pit the East versus west champion. I like the idea of a Cinderella story, and I really hate the rating systems which may not be fair. Are we going to do our own ratings? Will it be by a computer or voting from people who know very little about us as individual programs or a conference? I'd rather just bang it out on the field as Wins/Losses. Duke may have been over matched, (ok, they were) - but so were many teams FSU faced. Duke won their games in their Division, they earned it. The question is: How will that help Duke progress in football power? I think without such notice and media attention - a program will have a hard time accessing life blood for the future of their program (RECRUITING). Does what Duke did earn them any advantages in Recruiting? I think the answer is yes, imhop - it just isn't fair or good for the conference to take that possibility away.

10 would probably work when playing 8 conference games. The leaves the possibility of the 2 teams being in the top that haven't played each other. i.e. The American had Cincy and UCF with the same record but neither played each other.

Clemson was better than Duke. They had a better conference record and a better overall record. Why should they be penalized for a divisional alignment that was set up 5+ years ago?

Since you will be allowed to determine the criteria for your championship game, you no longer need "divisions". You can simulate divisions by scheduling appropriately in the best interest of the programs.

By not having defined divisions, an uneven number of institutions then is not as problematic.
Therefore, the SBC can stay right where it is and still have the revenue producing ccg. If it wants to balance and/or get a travel partner for APP, it can take it's time; wait for JMU, or even wait a few years for EKU to develop, which IMO is the best long term solution for the SBC anyway.

There would be no critical time-is-of-the-essence urgency anymore.

Not really. The two best teams in the league could easily be in one divisions.

Did the best 2 teams really play in he CCG? Divisional deregulation would allow the Sunbelt to play any rotating schedule they prefer. They could have protected games to preserve certain rivalries while allowing more interaction between east and west schools. At the end of the year, the two highest rated teams would get a chance to face off for the championship. You could stick with divisions if you like. Unbalanced divisions would be ok as well. It would be entirely up to Sunbelt how they crown thier champion.

RE: CCG Deregulation looks good
A lot of validity in the possibility of having the top two teams actually being in the
same division, and not winding up having your top two teams meet if the SBC went
to division play in a CCG. Seems we would at least need to address that as an override
to strict division play.

I'm sure that could be worked out. Still need 12 to future proof the conference and ensure we have at least 10 without having to deal with football only agreements... worst case.

Doesn't seem to have the need to go to 12 if deregulation is passing.
Still would think an almost assured winner out of the box would be the
only major push toward it.
Whether football or basketball.

You could also have a better team with a worse conference record due to being on a tougher side of the conference. There is no perfect system.
