[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2025240, member: 746137"] Just to note a signpost here: There are major TV contracts signed, NFL venues with premium ticket prices booked, and a week of the schedule reserved for conference championship games which would under this proposal be meaningless and feature teams whose playoff bids were already clinched by definition. That's an unusually clear spotlight on the way this entire process works. Extracting all the stakes out of the college football that previously existed, and just assuming all the money will still be there anyway and you can just add playoff money on top. [/QUOTE]
