So it is okay for FCS, D2, D3 teams to maybe have multiple losses and win a NC but not FBS team? What a messed up outlook you have. You do know there are more teams in 2 and 3 than FBS and FCS combined? So again maybe you need to readjust your thinking. It is a money and not wanting to share more than a safety or academic reason.

I mean I guess it is cool to celebrate mythical championships, unlike every other sport in the world and country.

Again, why is it okay for every football amateur except FBS play in a large playoff? The risking of millions dollars is a dumb excuse. They do not have to play if they do not want to.

For your example of blowouts, then why do we allow teams in the basketball hockey, baseball tourney. I mean people gear up to watch those games as well. UMBC and others have shown us teams that have no business winning can do it. It happens in football also....NDSU, Appy St, and many others have done it.

I know

Was your son a kicker on that UCF team or something? You seem really involved on this one

I never said I thought their method of determining a champion was the correct and best way to do it. Just because they do it doesn't make in the correct way to do it nor does it mean I acquiesced to it being the right way

So it's ok for you to argue based on monetary gain but it's not ok for me to argue about monetary loss. Ok

Well, if you paid attention to my argument, I said I think those tournaments are a poor way to determine the best team. Maybe I don't want football to succumb to the same format. I want the best team to be crowned champion. I think the regular season should matter. I don't think it's "fair" to have a team from a G5 conference coast through an easy regular season schedule and be on equal footing with a P5 conference with a much more difficult regular season.

Have done what? Beaten a P5 school? What's your point? P5 schools do that every Saturday.
