No, there's no chance of it. If they wanted to have the teams that "have
played at the highest level over the whole year" competing for the NC$$
Championship, it would be a four-team affair involving the four conference
pennant-winners.
 
IMHO, if a team can't win their league, they shouldn't win the National
Championship.
 
See you later,
