The ACC was a joint petitioner in that, and we were asking for just that, letting the two highest ranked teams play for championship. Did they rule on that as well

Don't think it does anything to ACC. While the idea

of CU and FSU playing twice a year might seem good for TV, it would be bad business if it causes a premier team to miss the playoffs. Same on the SEC side...can you imagine having an iron bowl then having to suit up and play it again in Atlanta the next week? The state of Alabama would implode.

Yeah but it worked in 2011. LSU played Alabama for 2nd time in Natty.
It sucked...but it was SEC worship.

Hope they keep tweaking until ALL the issues get resolved.

I like it but it may eventually lead to us playing FSU twice

that's a long row to hoe for both teams.

What it will do is to force the little 12 to NOT back load the schedule. Now instead of having 3/4 top ten teams because they have not played anyone they will be forced to suffer some losses, like everyone else, and have only 1 or 2 in the top ten. Then the confernce championship will pair those numbers even further, maybe only 1 top ten team. Just sayin.

Backloading the schedule arguably hurt them this year.

By the time their best teams played each other they all had major injury issues except OU. That's part of why the Sooners got into the playoff.

Not that simple

NCAA is allowing teams to have a conference championship game IF they play a round-robin conference schedule.
With 12 or 14 teams, ACC, SEC, Pac-12 and B1G would not be able to do that without down-sizing. This currently is only a win as it allows the Big 12 to decide if they want to have a conference CG.

So the ACC could cut four teams.

This is a big deal in protecting the NCAA conference model.

I'm very much against efforts to homogenize college sports just for football post-season scheduling. Really happy to see this measure pass as it takes the legs out of that agenda.

per report I heard, the ACC voted against ruling.

This just came down about 30 min ago. I haven't found anything on the Interwebs yet.
