So, if we had the 6 format, three-loss UW or Utah is in. But either ND or Bama is out, if UGA wins.

And Northwestern would be in if they win Saturday. I don't know. Not sure how making conference champions automatically in makes "conference championships irrelevant." And I think it leads to some unwanted results. With the 6 format this year, Texas has a clearer path than ND.

- You eliminate the conference championship games.NT NDavenue 10:37am · 11/28/18
  - Wait. You eliminate conference championship games but give the conference champs an "in?" Napoleon 10:54am · 11/28/18
    - Figure out a way to do it without divisions. Use tie breakers. It's not difficult.NT NDavenue 11:29am · 11/28/18
      - Actually it is difficult. There are 14 teams in the SEC. For example. Napoleon 11:50am · 11/28/18
        
        I just looked. The Big10 played 8 conference games (in an 11 team conference).NT NDavenue 12:10pm · 11/28/18

        You argued that it's too difficult to name a champion if you done play everyone. That's wrong. NDavenue 12:20pm · 11/28/18
        
        It is more difficult with 14 teams. That's the point. Napoleon 12:35pm · 11/28/18
        
        They didn't all play each other before championship games started did they?NT NDavenue 12:03pm · 11/28/18
        
        Sometimes they did. Like the old Big 8. Expansion and the idea of two divisions goes hand-in-hand. Napoleon 12:09pm · 11/28/18
        
        No, I don't see a problem with it. And I don't think the PAC12 or Big12 would disagree. NDavenue 12:18pm · 11/28/18
        
        Of course the conferences would love guaranteed spots. Napoleon 12:26pm · 11/28/18
