Because no divisions requires more tie-breakers to compare ALL teams against each other to see who is ranked above whom due to lack of common opponents.
I didn't ask "why not go division-less." I was merely making a point about how wrong it would be to have a system where the schedules of cross-divisional teams are more balanced than the schedules of divisional teams.

BTW, WHY does the B12 even have a champ. game when they have a full round-robin schedule each year that determines a winner.
$$$. And that "13th data point," or whatever they call it.

Can you explain what this means? I'm not following.
"Avg % of balance between the schedules of 2 divisional teams: 5/9 = 56%
Avg % of balance between the schedules of 2 cross-divisional teams: 5.5/9 = 61%
Your conference is literally better off having no divisions at all than to do what you suggest: 60%
If you want semis and divisions in your hypothetical, why not just take the top two teams from each of two divisions? (81%)"
