The ACC, Big 10, Big 12, and Pac 12 better push for a strong conference champion component in the new 4 team playoff.
The exact format of the 4 team playoff has yet to be determined. If you are a conference representative for anyone not named the SEC, you better push for a strong conference champion component. It’s obviously in the best interest of the SEC to simply have a formula that says these are the 4 best …

Florida State, Clemson, Miami and Virginia Tech have separated from the rest of the ACC.
The ACC never needed to be great from top to bottom to start gaining respect as a football conference.
