this isn't what you expected. It was likely always going to be this way.

But the key to take away is that now EVERYONE has a chance. Well at least most teams, there could still be some who don't who have a terrible schedule. But if BYU wins its next 6 games they will be national champions. That isn't something that could have happened a year ago.

Now do teams like Alabama and Ohio St have an easier path? Yes, clearly. But having a chance is a huge improvement.
