Still needs to go away. Big 10 CCG is almost equally ridiculous

I agree this should becone the new Army / Navy weekend and then extra round of CFP play instead start on following week

I think they will eventually. Might take a couple of more years.

I like the idea of that weekend being the play-in of either 3/4 or 4/5 in the SEC and B1G.


I agree.

Define “significantly” more, but so what? They don’t get paid on a per viewer commission the TV contracts are paid for multiple years. 4 more playoff games would offset the revenue lost by canceling what is an obsolete game now.

Not for the SEC deal for an SEC vs SEC game

More playoff games means the revenue is split with other conferences

While true it could still be more than what they currently get from that one game. Notre Dame doesn’t have to share tv revenue like conference team do but the SEC and B1G teams were making more individually than ND was

And Gay&M and Ol Piss are better off by not playing in the SECCG and taking a week off.
