The landscape of college football is shifting dramatically, and with that tidal wave of realignment has come a second look at the current structure to decide a conference champion.
Over the summer, the ACC announced they were getting rid of the division model entirely and having each team play three “protected” games and a revolving slate for the rest of the conference season. As the entrance of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten looms, there has been talk of adopting a similar model in order to ensure every team plays each other over a four-year span.
