Actually, for now, they are better off without a conference.  They are one of the wealthiest schools already, they got 20 million for the playoffs, and they don't have to share.

I hope ND continues to he independent. Screw the conferences

Looking forward to an offseason of them continuing to ruin college football more and more.

ACC now saying they think they should have a regular season champ.  Park that team to the side.  Let the 2nd and 3rd teams play for the ACC “championship”.  Have 2 champions with the regular season champ protected from actually having to prove to be that. 

Stupid.  Hope that gets shot down.  Bad ideas tend to bleed over.  Other sports. 

reality is SMU didn’t play Clemson, Miami and the top of the ACC in season.  Conferences are too big.    So yeah, you 100% have to play a real title game to be the champion.  Because it exposes you to the actual best teams.

We knew this would happen - that you'd end up with conferences focusing on not weakening their best teams records. Any given Sunday (Saturday) is an even bigger thing in college football. Just look at OSUs losses this year...

They need to go back to the way it was 20 years ago.  The conferences are too big and meaningless now.  Bring back the Big East!

The mega conference thing definitely sucks. I miss the days when you played every conference opponent.

yep.  I mean, basically everyone I wanted to see play each other in the ACC this year.....wasn't on the regular season schedule.   And it's not new.   It's just far worse.  I use to give my SEC chest thumping friends poo because Clemson in the last decade of college football....Clemson saw mighty Bama far more often than SC even thought about it.  I mean, if your brag and defense is you play in the Bama conference but never really play them.  If you are playing a team once every 3 or 4 years......you aren't really in their conference IMO

All of the conference mergers and whatnot have been dumb but the PAC12 thing is where they really jumped the shark.
