re: Should division record be the only record that matters?

I agree that by using the term east champion and west champion the current system is contradicting.

The sec west should have no bearing on who the sec east champ is and vice versa. Now if you want to take the top 2 overall records in the sec and have them play an sec championship game that makes sense for including all games.

NCAA D1/Conference/division
-these are three things you can be champion of. It should only trickle up not down. How does losing an out of conference game affect being a conference champ? It doesn't... Why would would losing and out of division game effect being a division champ?

Before people say "well the division is in the conference," well the conference is in the NCAA so that's not logical in my opinion.

After all my babbling, obviously total conference record makes sense in determining a champion, but not if you are split into divisions. Overall conference record makes sense in determining your national title hopes just like total overall record (including OOC games) does.
