They need the money so they'll have ALL the games.
PAC isn't a factor in the NC playoff anyway, and the B1G and B12 are only fodder but they're necessary fodder for the "4-team-playoff."
So now I guess we'll see two SEC teams, Clemson, and OU in the finals. LSU has lost a lot of players and coaches off their NC winner, so I wonder who will be the other SEC team alongside Alabama?
