The idea of doing away with divisions but still staging a conference champ game is not new. However, I believe this year is the first any major conference has implemented not having divisions and also not having all the teams plays each other.

ACC, B1G, SEC: still have divisions, all teams play all others in same division.
B12: no divisions, all teams play all others
Mountain West, MAC: divisions
Pac 12FS: dropped divisions, don’t all play each other, dumb 3 way tie for 2nd
AAC: same as the PAC I think?

I guess next year the B12 will have this possible issue? And B1G in future?

I guess back in the day you had Rose Bowls being decided by tiebreakers when not everyone played each other (in both conferences), but less of the conference was missed too.

This is the first time a major conference has implemented such an approach as far as I can tell. The results sure are amazing!

It's the Pac 12 and its member institutions of academis prowess that got hosed by the mountain west champs usurping the deserving Washington squad thus relegating the game to Friday afternoon after school special not must see TV

As well as fans of REAL Pac 12 schools

Only Oregon and Utah like this outcome. That's a tell

Let's not conflate this with CFP or poll bullshit. This is on the field tie breaker bullshit

How they arrived at the decision to still schedule it as north-south even though it isn't is the biggest curiosity to me. That's really weird.

Sounds like a question for @Logistics Dawg

Pac-12 logistics defies logic. The way they operate, you'd think they had the Great Vizzini calling the shots.

I'm disappointed that the Pac-12 is forcing us to backdoor into the Rose Bowl instead of beating USC to qualify for the Rose Bowl

If you're going to bash going in through the backdoor, well, you know the rest.....
