[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 988995, member: 1555"] As far as the revenue loss of an 11-game regular season is concerned, I don’t see it as a big deal. For one, the dropped game would likely be one of the rent-a-win, lower-watched OOC games that are relatively revenue-neutral to the P5 schools. Second, even the first-round playoff game in a field of 32 is likely to have a greater media audience share than a corresponding meaningless bowl game this year, and have corresponding greater revenue potential. As [USER=6771]@stinger78[/USER] mentioned, the already marginal popularity of the non-CFP bowls is diminished even more by the playoffs. An expanded playoff that includes more bowls can offset some of this, although it will depend on how many games are played at the higher-seeded team’s home stadium. There will still be exceptions like our Gasparilla Bowl this year, where the teams still had something to play for. Since ESPN owns most of the lower-tier bowls as well as the media rights to the CFP, it will be up to them to decide which properties will survive. [/QUOTE]
