Top Two Teams in ACC Championship Game?

This information is via Dinich: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10273908/acc-commissioner.... All the relevant information is below.

ACC commissioner John Swofford said Friday he is in favor of conferences having "the autonomy" to determine how teams qualify for their league championship games, and should the NCAA decide this spring to lighten its restrictions, the ACC would consider a different format.

Under the current structure, the NCAA requires that each conference have an equal number of teams in each division, and every team must play each opponent in its own division. Swofford said the NCAA is likely to re-evaluate those rules this spring.

"A piece of legislation may affect what we ultimately do," Swofford said. "... If some of those requirements were removed, we may schedule a little differently during the regular season than we do now, but that's to be determined."

If the NCAA lifted its title-game requirements, Swofford said the ACC would consider having the top two teams in the league play for the ACC championship, in addition to maintaining divisions, but not requiring teams to play every opponent in their division.

"If those requirements were lifted, it gives you much more flexibility in how you schedule," Swofford said. "I'm a proponent of the conferences having the autonomy to determine how they do those things."

According to Swofford, these changes wouldn't happen until after the 2014 season.

Are you for or against the top two teams in the league playing for the championship each season? (Last season that would've been a Clemson-FSU rematch.) What about the possibility of not playing each team in the division over the course of the season?
