What's this?

Well the SI article is written by a SEC advocate

There are 2 camps of media supporting college football. One camp feels no need to cover the entirety. Its only 20-30 media marketing giants and rest are pretend. Open the playoffs to 12 and lets get all the SEC (no one else plays football), mich ohio state, penn state, ND and thats it. Rest are pretend. (and btw, we will give the other conferences a tidy check to shut up...

Or for the good of the game, create a conference focused solution of 8, (guarantee power 5 winners, 1 group of 5) and 2 independents. THat gets the entire country embraced in college football experience. Media hates that because they have to cover all these conferences, and the conference battles)....cost too much money to cover it). (Frankly who cares about schools like VT WVU)...

The world is not always about money

I contend that College Football was better before the BCS not to mention -- Maroon Baboon 11/21/2021 2:49PM

It allowed teams like VT to get to the national championship -- Mercury 11/23/2021 8:35PM

Under the old system, FSU and VT would have met in the Fiesta Bowl. -- Maroon Baboon 11/24/2021 06:43AM

You don't think there would have been a possibility that FSU would -- VTHokie2000 11/24/2021 07:49AM

That 1985 Cherry Bowl appearance by MD always puzzled me -- I85Hokie 11/24/2021 5:08PM

Fiesta would have taken 1 and 2 for a de-facto title game. -- Maroon Baboon 11/24/2021 08:16AM

But would the Fiesta Bowl be in that position? The reason the Fiesta Bowl -- VTHokie2000 11/24/2021 08:45AM

Yeah. There's multiple factors here. And the VT angle doesn't really matter -- Maroon Baboon 11/24/2021 09:32AM

I contend that you are 100% right. Way more fun back then. ** -- reestuart 11/22/2021 6:33PM

NCAA missed their chance to control it by not having a +1 game. -- Truthahn 11/22/2021 1:00PM

Yep, old guy here.... -- TerryD 11/22/2021 09:19AM

Makes you wonder... -- BUGGZY 11/21/2021 7:18PM

Because the bowl realized that having 8-10 bowl games played on New Year's -- VTHokie2000 11/22/2021 09:54AM

It also means more filler content for tv in between games -- HokieAl 11/22/2021 4:10PM

Not necessarily. Instead of NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC, and ESPN -- VTHokie2000 11/22/2021 4:13PM

Well the SI article is written by a SEC advocate -- Mercury 11/19/2021 09:04AM

Yet the powers that be say they are concerned about player health. -- Hokester 11/18/2021 5:24PM

Powers???? SEC/ND mouthpiece does not represent powers -- Mercury 11/19/2021 10:49AM

The SEC and ND could probably do pretty well with a 12 team tournament of -- ChrisLords 11/21/2021 11:57PM

You miss read me -- Mercury 11/23/2021 8:38PM

Totally agree. ESPN only cares about SEC & ND. -- Hokester 11/19/2021 11:14AM

Worried About Ben Flanklins back ** -- TurnerZ 11/18/2021 10:40PM

Health is a red herring -- TerryD 11/18/2021 5:48PM

I think some ADs have a conscience and health is a factor. Just not enough ** -- lawhokie 11/21/2021 07:40AM

Have no doubt about that but they keep using it for some reason. ** -- Hokester 11/18/2021 8:57PM

It is a CYA move and makes for good PR. ** -- VTHokie2000 11/19/2021 08:51AM

I get the financial argument -- Vippie1 11/18/2021 1:35PM

And the majority would go to the SEC -- EDGEMAN 11/18/2021 12:34PM

SEC will get 3-4 of those spots every year, or more ** -- lawhokie 11/21/2021 07:37AM

Well, maybe it would -- M-I-C 11/18/2021 12:54PM

Well many college fans dont want that choice to be with SEC -- Mercury 11/20/2021 08:00AM

Again, if true, this makes ND/SEC even more sinister. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 11/18/2021 12:36PM

You mean you wouldn't like a 12 team playoff that included 11 SEC teams -- VTHokie2000 11/18/2021 1:32PM

Don't forget OSU. They need to throw the B1G a bone. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 11/18/2021 1:57PM

No bone for the Big Ten because they are affiliated with Fox. -- VTHokie2000 11/18/2021 2:00PM
