Adding the 12th game started the ball rolling on this.

I don't think the Cowboy's Classic happens with an 11 game schedule, but generally, fans get very complacent in week 4 every season.

People don't get excited until the conference races really start. Even then, Bama winning 3/4 hurts the overall game. Fans think they have little to no shot to see their team win a NC, and with one BCSNC spot taken before week 1, it makes their hopes thinner.

As much as I root for the SEC every year the sport would benefit from another conference winning. It's hard to care about a top 10 matchup in other conferences if I feel like they will just loose to Bama in the championship anyway.

Imagine you're an Oklahoma State fan. Your team finishes with the same record as Alabama, however, your team won their conference whereas Alabama didn't even win their division.

And yet Alabama goes to the National Championship game.

How absurd is that?

I don't understand why anyone, including myself, likes college football, because it is the most absolutely stupid system of competition there is.
