re: [The Athletic] What An Expanded Playoff May Look Like

THIS is a completely different argument.

I’m arguing based on reality. You’re arguing based on what you want to see not what might happen. If you reduce the season and bowl games, teams are going to lose money.

I would say half of the SEC, B1G, B12 and ACC could think they can get inside the top 16

So why would the other half agree to losing money? Why would the rest of the FBS agree to it? To losing 2 whole games of revenue.

You are now making this about money vs putting a better playoff product on the field. Which is more important to you? To me, its a better post season CFP.

Because that’s once again the reality. I don’t see the point of arguing something that has little chance of happening. It doesn’t matter what’s more important to you because the reality is the vast majority of teams won’t make the playoffs and lose a lot of money by your reduced game proposals.
