Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 2103091, member: 3850"] Dayooper.... [B]Under current rules, FBS conferences must have at least 12 members, and championship games must be between the winners of two divisions within the conference. Each division must play a round-robin schedule during the regular season in order to hold a championship game.[/B] [B]Council members adopted a proposal that originated with the Division I Football Oversight Committee but also approved an amendment from the Big Ten Conference. The amendment, offered by the Big Ten late last week, allows conferences with fewer than 12 members to hold championship games in football, as long as they meet one of two additional conditions: Conferences that want to play championship games must either play their championship game between division winners after round-robin competition in each division or between the top two teams in the conference standings following full round-robin, regular-season competition between all members of the conference.[/B] This is from the NCAA site...where do you find the NCAA availability of pods? The sticky point is the wording about the winner of two divisions...it doesn't say the winners of three divisions... I think it is a big stretch to assume that they meant anything more than what has been current...two divisions...except they did amend that to allow a conference with less than 12 members to hold a CCG...if they played round robin and pitted the top two teams.
