So just a tv rankings playoff. Which teams brings in the most money.

sfeuz

7:45am

Indirectly, I guess. I think it's the same brand bias in CFB we've seen forever

thewaterboy

7:46am

Maybe, but the data show that teams like Alabama draw huge numbers. Why would the CFP not want that team in over an SMU?

durandal

7:51am

Thought the CFP is to determine the best team, not who brings in the most $$$

sfeuz

In that case…let same 12 play every yr in their bubble. Rest of college football
