They may schedule some non conf ACC games against each other
Stupid idea for the SEC. Why should we go out and play an LSU or bama or someone that isn't already on our schedule, if it doesn't even count in the standings? You win..cool, all you get is a W in that column same as if you'd played NM State. You lose..now you're pretty much out of the playoff picture. And you still have to play the rest of your SEC games.
No thanks.

All of this.
However, the ACC knows that to get in that Final 4 they need to boost thier schedules bec they have weaker teams. GT playing UNC as a non conference would look better in the eyes of the committee than if they played Ga Southern.
SEC teams do not need that boost bec we play in the premiere conference.
It is dumb but I get it.

The ACC is proposing it as a way to fill their P5 requirement for non con schedules, which the SEC also has. So if Tennessee scheduled A&M it would be replacing a game against an Arizona State, Minnesota, etc. I agree it is dumb though.
