Right, but if you're going to have a championship game,


you need to get the right teams in there. Consider this:

The top 3 teams all go 8-0 in conference. They beat the hell out of The League, but never play each other head to head. That could EASILY happen if there are no divisions.

With divisions, At LEAST two of the top three have a head to head result AND they have comparable schedules. It's just better that way.

I think the best thing the ACC could do would be to create pods and rotate the divisions every two years (see my post above for an example). It gets everybody in the conference to play each other at least twice, home and away, in a four-year rotation with only 8 games per season.
