Yes. As fans we focus on winning and the national championship


But the AD’s know that the odds are low overall for most teams in most years. So the smart move, even if you are a top 25 program, is to grab as much money and tv exposure as you can for your school.

If I am an AD I will happily take an extra $20m a year even if it means a much harder path to the playoffs. It is a far better business move compared to being a playoff team from a lower conf that gets paid a lot less.
