The divisions are still there for at least this year.
But I like them.
It helps encourage rivalries (lik UW Cal, Oregon Stanford) which gets more fans to games.
The bottom of the North was upsetting top teams at least.
The bottom of the South was barely even fbs.
The one downside that is maybe remedied when they kill divisions is getting USC more often because it's a good draw no matter how shitty either team is.
If college football really wants to expand the playoff ditch the conference championship games. They're stupid. Instead just take the 2-3 best teams from each conference at the end of the regular season and throw them into a playoff starting after Thanksiving and ending on New Year's in the Rose Bowl.
Half the time in the Pac-12 this is just going to be a rematch with teams having the chance to damage another team going into CFP selection or a team having to re-beat a team they already beat. There's no reason Utah needed to have to beat Oregon again last year to make the Rose Bowl after gutter fucking them two weeks before.
No need for divisions anymore. The natural rivals play each other every year and you rotate schedules so that you play every team at least once every 2 years.
Win win for UW, as you wouldn’t get trained by Oregon EVERY year.

The 4 nw schools would assuredly play each other every year even without divisions.
It's okay bud. This new format assures that WSU will never sniff a conference championship game but it's not like they ever made it to one with the best coach in the history of their school anyways *faggy wink*
