There is no justification for what colleges are doing excrpt to make more and more money.


Every other level has had a 16 team playoff for as long as i can remember...the reason D1 didn't is b/c of bowl game money and the excuse they didn't want student athletes playing too many games...meanwhile 16 team playoffs were going on in other divisions. Well 30-40 yrs ago teams that made bowls, maybe 30 total, played 11 games maximum. now teams play 12 reg season games and some a conf championship then a bowl/or playoff.

And they don’t make money. The bowls made money.
It’s all about money in big time college football.

And go and review the 1AA playoffs. They added 8 more teams. It’s now a 24 team playoff. How many of the early round games are competitive? How many of the second round games?
