What's this?

Going to 12 was a surprise for me, but not after Supreme Court ruling

I believe 12 gives more TV $$$ to schools to help with the Supreme Court ruling and how to handle added costs with dealing with managing the students' agreements with getting paid.

Another key issue is get the TV/streaming $$$ while they can - the interest is slowly fading with the new generations interest waning over past generations. You also have the generations that have a lot of interest being pulled away - whether new duties/interests, or not liking how everything is working out in the world of college sports, or even for political reasons.

Like many are saying - college football/sports is in a bubble...we just don't know if we are about done blowing up the bubble to where it is about to pop or we are just starting to blow it up. We shall see...

College Football is now a Professional Sport, it’s not about College. -- Stech 06/29/2021 9:20PM

As I read that ND would never get a bye. Always at large if any. correct? ** -- VTNSC 06/25/2021 4:15PM

Correct. ND AD Swarbick agreed to the plan, helped come with it. -- PadrosWindup 06/25/2021 4:36PM

It will be a damn shame if they don't prioritize conf. champs -- LaneRat 06/22/2021 9:11PM

A potential drawback to prioritizing conference champions over -- VTHokie2000 06/25/2021 5:46PM

10 champions and 6 at large would do that. 16 teams. -- Maroon Baboon 06/25/2021 11:58PM

It may give too much power to the G5s -- VTHokie2000 06/26/2021 02:02AM

The 6 at-large would almost certainly go to P5s, I don't think the G5 get -- wwhokie1 06/29/2021 6:29PM

It is too much power in the sense that ESPN and maybe many people believe -- VTHokie2000 06/29/2021 11:03PM

ESPN wants 3+ SEC, ND and 2 B1G. It’s about ratings, ratings, ratings!!! -- Stech 06/29/2021 7:35PM

If espn has its way, the playoffs will become the SEC Invitational. ** -- Atlee Hokie 06/30/2021 04:00AM

Totally agree. A national champ that is not a conf champ would be a farce. -- Hokester 06/24/2021 01:55AM

Correct analysis. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 06/26/2021 5:53PM

I'd be fine with that. But all regular season games would have to be played -- Maroon Baboon 06/24/2021 06:18AM

The timing of the quarterfinals interests me. Hope they do them NYE/NYD. -- Maroon Baboon 06/22/2021 3:40PM

I am sure they'll find a way to completely ruin it. ** -- reestuart 06/23/2021 09:13AM
