    They would have no reason to go to 12 teams if this is changed. All those slices of the pie are quite a bit bigger when your only cutting 11 pieces.

    It all comes down to the same thing everything comes around to now. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Personally I think it's bullshit and wont be surprised if the other conferences that had to get 12 teams to have championship game protest.

    politically, it's already doomed. There's no way the BigEast votes for it, and the teams with championships (esp. the SEC, geographically/demographically) have no interest in monetarily advancing another conference through vote.

    but the pac 10 and big 10 could have a conference title game.

    and the conferences could assure themselves that the acc wouldn't be going after one of their members.

    if they get to have the title game with 11, there's no hunt for the 12th member.

    but the pac 10 and big ten have alway had a championship to determine the rose bowl participants. The ACC just seems to have a tradition of grabbing the latest money maker when the top teams hit the skids.

    The Big Ten and PAC 10 have never had championship games as far as I can remember. The Rose Bowl has always pitted these two conferences top teams against each other until the Rose joined the BCS.
    I don't forsee either conference getting in on this. The ACC has too big of an ego to think they can waltz in make such sweeping changes. The Big East won't bite...in fact this would benefit no one but the ACC.
