It means more teams... who won't win a title.

If we go back to the good old days of co-champions, even less teams won't win it!

Every Georgia Tech flair in this thread is physically vibrating with the urge to point out that this is actually a question of applied mathematics.

Please note that I didn’t say “buzzing” because I still have a modicum of self-respect.

He did use the word modicum, a word that would never pass a math nerd's lips, as it is an amount that cannot be quantified.

Not for the SEC, which is why their position in all of this is utterly absurd.
