If we want to use conference champs as the basis for a playoff then that's fine but it shouldn't be limited to just those four conferences when some years another conference rep will be better than some or all of those champs.


maybe every team not SEC, BIG XII, PAC, B1G doesn't need to be D1, hmmmmm?

Like I said. For the first time in school history, WVU will be playing in a real conference.


Other than OU, the Big12-2 is a joke. WVU will be able to put up inflated win totals there as well but will get embarrassed in their bowl games against teams from legit conferences.

Kind of sad that WVU is going to the wrong conference at the wrong time.
