Again, why is this terrible? These r regions, and we wanted Miami, initially, to be in the SEC. So break it down as to why this is terrible? Matter of fact, if u can’t articulate it, then don’t speak on it.
So, just to be clear, you'd want us to be in a region we have a very little chance of ever winning it and you'd be OK with Clemson, USC, Oregon, Penn State, and Tennessee, etc. basically sleep walking into the playoff every year?
Penn State's hardest game would be Boston College or Pitt
Tennessee's hardest game would be Kentucky or Va Tech
Clemson's hardest game would be North Carolina or UCF
Nebraska's hardest game would be Wisconsin or Missouri
Oregon's hardest game would be Washington or Boise State
USC's hardest game would be Cal or UCLA
And the winner of a division gets an autobid which means they don't even have to win those games to get into the playoff. In that Atlantic division, Clemson could probably go 8-2 and still make the playoff every single year.
You basically made 6 ACC Coastal divisions, remade the BIG10 in one, remade the old BIG12 in another, and made an SEC division with only the good SEC teams. And then gave them all one autobid each and put Miami in the hardest one.
People say Florida has the hardest schedule they've ever seen this year.
Florida 2024 Schedule
Miami - Same
Samford
Texas A&M - Swap with Auburn
Miss St - Same
UCF - Swap with GT
Tennessee
Kentucky
Georgia - Same
Texas - Swap with Bama
LSU - Same
Ole Miss - Same
FSU - Same
So they have to replace Samford, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Everything else is the same or worse. And they play that schedule EVERY YEAR.
