So people get on college football because they don't have a playoff, maybe after seeing what they did to the tournament, that's why they don't have a playoff.

So the play-in games that nobody cared about are now 1st round games, and first day of the tournament is the 2nd round, should have never added teams if that's how it will be done.

No, not really, people will still watch and fill out the brackets, just seems odd.

They don't have a playoff because they have to protect the sanctity of things such as the Pinstripe Bowl. Plus all regular season games matter :roll:

.

If college footballs system was so great you would find some level of professional or NCAA sport that would copy their model.
