Message: [QUOTE="coachcap, post: 1538661, member: 621"] An example of "give conferences the ability to select their team based on the best situation at the moment": Back in the early 70's the B1G had a rule for sending a team to the Rose Bowl. If 2 teams were tied for 1st place at the end of the season, the team that hadn't represented most recently would be sent. As it happened, Ohio State & Michigan were tied for first going into their final game & OSU had represented the previous year. The game ended in a tie, but the Michigan qb sustained a separated shoulder to end his season in the game. The B1G sent OSU to the Rose Bowl citing that injury as a factor even though it was the Wolverines turn to represent by conference rule. [/QUOTE]
