[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 514211, member: 4334"] Exactly about ESPN. They are slowly dying due to the contracts, primarily the NBA contract. As other TV companies start poaching what ESPN has had, the money for a playoff will continue to expand. The rights to a #1 vs. #8 or #16 will dwarf the money for a meaningless bowl game. As for the conference championship games, the TV folks won’t care how each conference chooses a champ and they’d love to keep the championship games for the money but the conferences may not want to keep it going if it impacts their champs chance at a title. Take UGA or Bama as an example, would they want to play GT and Auburn, then a week later play each other in Atlanta, then the next week play a playoff game? Probably not. TV would love it though. Say CBS has the rights to the SEC. They want Auburn/Bama the weekend of Thanksgiving and CBS definitely wants a SEC Champ game. Say NBC has the playoffs. They want that Bama 1st round game. Bottom line is someone will pay for true ELIMINATION games. [/QUOTE]
