We’ve watched a lot of shitburger nba finals with a substantially better nba west. I’d still rather that then suggesting conferences and divisions no longer matter.

For a long time I have advocated for D1 to follow the D2 playoff model. Not sure why that hasn't happened.

The BCS model was to get the 2 best teams regardless of conference standings. Back then several conferences including the B10 didn't have a conference final game while others did. You also have teams like Notre Dame that aren't in a conference, and they are currently ranked higher than Baylor. Is that fair to put Notre Dame in but not Georgia? Don't think so.
