Message: [QUOTE="Pat125, post: 2255472, member: 4513"] The pods, as described, would form two divisions, that are rotated. So each year, there are always two divisions, just the composition changes. As long as there is a round robin within the divisions, and the division winners play each other, this is allowed. What is not allowed is having three or more divisions with semifinals, or even just a conference final (say between the top two division winners). Also not permitted is one division, non-round robin with a championship game. It wasn't just the Big Ten that was opposed. The other P5 conferences were opposed as well. Only two models for conference championship games were allowed. Swofford will simply have to convince two other conferences next time around to allow arbitrary championship models, or better yet. propose the model he is seeking in addition to the current models allowed.
