re: Tim Brando: Fiesta Bowl is a glorified exhibition

Your argument is ignoring the entire basis of my point, dude. This ISN'T the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL or NCAA basketball tournament.

Again, in the pros you have a very limited number of teams where you can just take the best records in each conference (aside from the division champion being an automatic qualifier). You're dealing with a lot more teams, and the competition is not anything close to equal for even all of the power 5 teams.

And the NCAA basketball and baseball tournaments have auto bids because they have 64 and 68 team fields. You can't do that in football. And, also, who said the auto bids were even a good idea in those tournaments? I hate that are so many crappy teams, and teams with losing records, that get in over teams from real conferences who actually play somebody all year.

You see my point? It fixes nothing. It just muddies up the field and waters down the significance of the regular season.
