Conference expansion is a cancer on this sport

You’re correct. We need to return to smaller, regional conferences

There used to be the SEC east and west divisions, I'm not sure why they merged those, maybe for variety I suppose

It was “to get the two best teams” cause usually the west was a lot better. But now it’s impossible to know the 2 best teams when not every team plays each other.

Texas A&M was excluded due to tiebreakers but also hadn’t played any of the tying teams. It seems like the right decision in hindsight, but it’s still bonkers to think about.

Yeah, in my opinion neither the ACC or SEC got the 2 best teams in the conference championship

Hindsight- ole miss. At the time- A&M. But the fact that you can even can argue/have tiebreakers shows how dumb the setup is.

The answer is both. 16+ team conferences will still have a ton of problems even with divisions.
