Oregon and IU would be 6-1, PSU 5-1 in the first tie breaker I think.

I don't know the answer, but I know it's a problem I'd love to worry about!!

I said at the beginning of the division-less conference formation that there could be some real logjams at the end of the season.
I think OSU takes care of business this Saturday and beats Oregon on the road. Purdue finishes off Oregon in Ross Ade the following week with their Spoilermaker special as Heisman candidate Hudson Card throws for 400 yards…. this time to his own teammates.

I don’t understand why they didn’t go to divisions. Four divisions of 4, 4, 5, and 5 teams would create 4 championship races, then playoffs. Maybe too many games? By not doing this does it mean they are planning on adding two more teams? Then four 5 team divisions?

Penn State losing to USC would be huge.

You can’t have a playoff for the conference title with the winner then going to a playoff for the national title. This isn’t basketball, where you can play every day over a weekend for the conference title. The national title game would then stretch out to February, like the Super Bowl, then spring drills in March.

True.
With the 12 team playoff, a team already could potentially play 17 games which includes their conference championship, a first round playoff, semifinal, final-4 and championship game.

Basically college football is playing an NFL schedule with expanded playoff.

Football is so much more physically hard that these games have to have 6-7 days between them.

I agree.
But money will be the deciding factor. Maybe I am to cynical.
