Conferences are too large for conference championship games now. It’s time to get rid of them imo

It seems like the end of the road is when the sec and b10 canabalize the acc and then make a super conference and divide back up into 5 divisions based on geographic regions and we are back where we started

Wonder if they’ll just make it the minor league for the NFL

They won’t. The NFL wants the free development league they’ve always had without having to do anything about it.

They already think they are. Remember a few years ago when people (by which I mean, Alabama homers) kept going on about how Alabama might just be so mighty as to beat an NFL team?
