Piped

Somewhat delayed reaction to this, because I don't obsessively listen to Pate. I think he says a lot to say a little, but that's podcasts for you. I do at the very least appreciate his traditionalist approach to the sport. And this is one of those instances where I really do agree with what he's saying.

Like I said I honestly like this. I would maybe keep vandy in the SEC as they were a founding member and push SCar to ACC or something. And if we're changing some names then I refuse to allow the big 10 and 8 to exist. Somebody has to change that name. But like Josh says, with this system I would almost be okay with an 8-12 team playoff. Thoughts?
