Custom Conference - Playoff Tie in

[icvu42]

As the playoff expands to 12 teams this year, the power 4 conference champions plus the highest rated group of 5 champion will get into the playoff. If I put everyone back in the PAC 12, and turn the American into the old Big East, will we be able to edit the playoff to include those champions as well.

According to Mills on Twitch, he mentioned in one of his last streams that if you place the teams back in the Pac-12 that the playoff rules will change to the 6+6 format.

This dev team knows what’s up.

Unless this is different than the one I heard, he didn’t say that. He made a vague statement about the game knowing and rules changing. Which could be interpreted as meaning it’ll make the PAC champ eligible but still takes the top 5.

I thought it is the 5 highest rated conference champions and then the at large bids go to the 7 highest rated non conference-champion teams. Most circumstances will have the Power 4 as the top 4 rated conference champions, which leaves the last bid to a G5 champion but I dont think thats the rule.

I plan on rebuilding the PAC right away and have a question to add here. The PAC 12 only has 2 bowl tie ins right now. When I put all of those teams back, is the 4th place team in the league going to not get a bowl game?

This is correct. Before the PAC imploded it was going to be the 6 highest ranked conference champions, but they quickly changed it once that happened. If we can’t change it back to 6+6 then G5 dynasties are going to have to be done without rebuilding the PAC which is unfortunate.

As a side note/clarification, based on what we've heard and unless they change it, we can put all the original Big East teams in the AAC, but we can't turn the AAC into the Big East IE change its name.
