[Matt Hayes] The SEC willingly flushed its conference championship game that last year had better ratings than all eight first round CFP games of the brief, 12-team era.

Hear me out now.

Could the conferences reimagine divisions and “divisional champions”? Like what if they left the last week of the regular season open for a matchup based on regular season standings or something like that?
Idk someway to get creative with regular season games and conference standings to make them more interesting. Like NHL has the Presidents Trophy for best regular season record and a bunch of other trophy’s for non post season things. The conferences are way too big anyways for winning the conference so maybe make more pompt and circumstance within divisions?? Idk I’m just brainstorming man.

That’s what they do in the PAC12 this year, so we’ll see how that goes I’m very intrigued. But even still, I love rivalry week, and hope it doesn’t go by the wayside
