I like college football just the way it was and wish they would leave it alone. It’s not broken.
What? The sport has been broken so long that we have our own fans who like it being rigged against schools like GT.
1- its not broken when UGA, Clemson, FSU, Bama, and Auburn all bought players under the table, yet GT gets stripped of a title?
2- it’s not broken when the champion was voted in because they had more media members in their region?
3- it’s not broken when a committee hand picks teams with large fanbases for TV numbers?
4- it‘s not broken when an undefeated team is ranked in the top 4, wins its conference championship game and then gets dropped for 1 loss teams?
NIL has finally opened the door for any school to buy players without being punished. That is HUGE for parity. Now, if UGA spends more on the next Herschel or Cam to get him then at least everyone else had a fair chance to buy him without being put on probation.
A larger playoff will also give more teams a chance. March Madness has shown that dynasties are built in rigged systems. Does anyone really believe UCLA would have won 7 national championships in a row if they had to play in March Madness? If we had the old system in hoops Coach K would have doubled his Natties (from 5 to at minimum 10) because he won the ACC regular season 13 times which would have gotten him auto bids. That’s why in 30 years from now all these Natties we’ve lived thru will be laughed at. People will look at the idea of 2 or 4 hand picked teams winning title after title as a joke.
