How Bad Is Your Conference?

[Wizardhawk]

Go back far enough in history and Pac12 didn't see other teams as often. Then again, for a long time, it was only an 8 or 10 team conference.

The point was, in my lifetime of college football fandom, I've seen many many seasons of both balanced and unbalanced schedules. One is vastly superior and way more interesting.

Divisions don't change unbalanced schedules.

Pac no longer has divisions as it's now just the top 2.

12 teams playing 9 conf games leaves teams fucked with playing the top teams and teams that skate made to look better than they are by missing those top teams.

It's worse in other conferences with more teams and even less conference games. You can't balance with 14, 15, etc teams and then play 8? GTFO.

This climb up to mega conferences is only going to make that worse. At least until/unless they go to 20 and 2 divisions and only play in your division until the conf championship game. Basically a flashback to when we had balance with most conferences having 10 teams.

Unbalanced conference schedules are completely fucking stupid.

Yeah, didn't think about that. I guess unbalanced divisions are what seems more common.

I guess balanced schedules have gone the way of the dinosaurs and ain't coming back.
