NorCal, Oregon and Washington Schools in the Norf, SoCal, Tea Party Battle State Alpha Arizona and the Mountain schools in the Souf. My favorite wrinkle is that the team with the better record hosts the title game. Fuck this neutral site bullshit!

It's a good move for them on the hosting title game thing, but a) they will do away with it eventually I think and b) they are just worried about an empty championship game like the ACC.

Yeah, I think the ACC finally found a place for them in the Charlotte area.

I think the Pac-12 will eventually settle with a main site once they find where it'll work and where it won't.

I'll be surprised if the ACC draws that much better in Charlotte than Tampa, but we'll see.

You think so?  It's obvious they did it in the Florida area thinking FSU and Miami would be there, but they obviously haven't been.  Being the Charlotte area is more traditional ACC country, thus less travel time, more of an opportunity to get fans, but I could be wrong there.

My response? LOL ACC

The Meineke Bowl normally sells out or comes real close (and it's a mid-level bowl) so putting the ACC championship there should draw reasonably well.
