Well the regular season just got even more pointless


Counter point: more games
Will be meaningfully later in the season.

The more teams Playing for a playoff spot means more games actually mean something.

Tell me how a game between a couple
Of teams with 2 losses Means something with a 4 game playoff?

We are still culling from 125 teams to 12.


(I think 8 is the sweet spot but whatever)

while correct, your argument doesn't work when you account for scale

if Bama-Auburn 2013 is worth 100, Oklahoma State-Baylor for the 12th spot is worth...like 5

there aren't enough 5s to add up to that 100
