it's not their own team in the running? Doesn't it provide more intrigue among a broader audience when a non-traditional team goes on a cinderella run and become a big storyline? So wouldn't providing more equal access across the board provide greater revenue to the TV networks in the long run, when it comes to the expanded playoff? Because I'm thinking there'd be more interest from both casual and die-hard college football fans if the door was open to the CFP having more mix-ups year over year. It's just really weird how the TV networks have become pawns to the 2 headed monster that is the SEC/B1G and not the other way around. If the door was open for more blue-bloods to be born, regardless of conference affiliation, I would think there'd be greater money to be made in the long-term for the TV networks, even if it would result in a little less money for the beloved SEC/B1G.

At what point could conferences like the B12, ACC, and even the G5's be able to file a valid antitrust lawsuit to level the playing field?
