[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 833502, member: 4334"] I agree with everything you said. Except the hype machine part. Listen, college football since we all have been alive has been a beauty pageant. It’s been the Russian judge always giving the Russian a higher score. It’s never been about finding the best team. The SEC is just smarter than everyone in using this stupid system to their conference benefit. Y’all act like they are doing something morally wrong by having the forethought to get in bed with ESPN and hype themselves. The ACC could have and SHOULD have done it, but they were too busy taking execs at Jefferson Pilot to lunch. I’ve mentioned before that I live in South Georgia with high end teams all over this area. We’ve had the SEC network on local cable (which most players have) since it’s inception. We got the ACC network this past August. And we wonder why high end players in Albany, Lee, Moultrie, Thomasville, Valdosta, Bainbridge, Tifton, etc go to SEC schools. It’s what they see on TV every day. In the old days you had teams like Norte Dame, Texas, and others who used the “hype machine” of the sportswriters to ensure their votes. The media evolved and the SEC evolved with it. I believe it’s still evolving from TV to streaming and I’ve praised Collins for his forethought in this area. But regarding the playoff system, once they expand to 20 plus teams then these issues you have of “hype” will go away as every team will get a real shot on the field and won’t have to worry about the “subjective” or “biased” opinions. I think they’ll get to 24 teams where the top 8 get byes and the bottom 16 play at the higher seed field. The the top 8 host the winners of round 1 at their field. Once you get to 8 you can use whatever is left of the bowl system to finish it out. And the NCAA has already proven by actions they don’t care about the health of any athletes. [/QUOTE]
