CFB fans will continue to watch. This is why there's no incentive to improve the product in college and the NFL because they know we'll all keep watching

Translation, "Screw the fans and all they love about college football, we want more money."

You can absolutely do that.

This will only stop if people don't watch, but we all know we will all watch.

Don't tell us we're stupid. Ignorance is bliss. Don't ruin our bliss.

"We considered those sentiments, but we ultimately wanted to make bank on this and make tickets even more expensive for fans."

The expanded playoffs to 12 has been a blessing for CFB. I listen to some of the shows on the College Radio channel on Sirius XM in the morning and there is so much discussion and talking points around this season. It's chaos and there are so many teams in the running for a playoff spot. It's wide open and there are so many games down the stretch that are defacto play in games that will have a reverberating impact across CFB.

That said, 24 is probably a bridge too far. I'm a fan of 12, you could talk me into 16, but 24 is too much.

We traded 4 months of meaningful games for 1.

Yeah, but fans of teams with three or four losses want to feel like they have a chance at a national championship come December.

All we ever needed was a four team playoff with the seeds decided by the BCS system.

Now we have this watered down crap.

And ESPN gets a monopoly.

Didn't that used to be illegal?

“We’re aware most are against this. However, for the few us in charge, it really helps us financially. We hope you understand.”

And that's what's bullshite, we traded REAL meaningful games between top 10 teams for FAKE "meaningful" games between two 8-4 CUSA teams.
