Of course it's the money. And yeah, CFB did take a long time, but those bowl games used to be pretty great.

It's almost as if the NCAA was right back in the 1980s when it argued that the schools/conferences having control over their own TV deals would threaten the amateurism model...

I love playoff hockey. It just hits different. But there's no reason a team that came in third or fourth place in its division should be playing for the championship. 
like Bama???

We all chatted about how teams below around 6th don't really "deserve" it.  One will eventually catch fire and win it, but they still shouldn't have been in the mix IMHO.

And yes, some team might lose early and gel, OK fine, but they still should be excluded in my view.  But we have this System and I'm going to make some modest effort to go along and enjoy it.  I don't think the Dawgs should be in it.

Texas is an underdog!  Maybe not according to the betting line, but in spirit!

I'm disappointed in the ideology here of 0 or 1 loss is okay, but 2 is some sort of tragedy for a playoff team.  1 is 1 more than 0.  2 is 1 more than 1.

A difficult schedule with 2 losses > an easy schedule with 1 or 0 losses

Please stop acting like once you lost a 2nd time, you cross some threshold of failure.  It's the same difference as the separation between 0 and 1 loss. 

No, there is no universe in which Army should be in a playoff.
