That’s the thing, when major CFB is eventually consolidated to ~30 teams, every game will be marquee.

Every game cannot be marquee. Records matter, timing matters. Just look at the nfl that has 10x the fans. Unless it’s prime time cowboys or KC/Buffalo who are both 5-0 the ratings are pretty static.

Alabama vs Texas is only interesting to the casual fan is both teams have something on the line. If Bama is 6-0 and Texas is 2-4 the casual fan is simply not going to watch

I understand. I’m not saying this model will work, just that’s what they’re hurdling towards.

Regarding records, we’re all kind of brainwashed that a title winner can only have 1 or 0 losses. No other sports operates like that. Better get used to having a 3-4 at minimum loss champions in this new CFB.
