Message: [QUOTE="B1GALUM, post: 666041, member: 3636"] I do not see a motivation unless the playoff is restricted to conference champions. However, as I understand it, this is not the plan. I asked the question trying to understand the perspective of the ACC and wandering why not add UConn and Cincinnati to the ACC now? This gives the ACC an additional university with proximity to the NYC market effectively taking out the only other option available to the B1G in this region. This gives the ACC an additional university in the Midwest to counter the B1G attempting to push toward the East. It is my impression that the ACC is holding at 14 teams in the hopes that Notre Dame will join as the 15th team in the near future. This seems very unlikely though given the importance of football independence to Notre Dame so why not just get UConn and Cincinnati now? If Notre Dame decides to join as a 17th team at some point, then 1 or even 3 additional universities should certainly be available. [/QUOTE]
