I think when teams are both that level of talent, it can simply be tough to beat the same team twice in one season.
Statistically, teams usually beat another team twice if they play, about 70% of the time.  I don't think it's inherently tougher, but a competitive team obviously has a shot at winning.

Are you suggesting LSU wouldn't be favorited by 10-12 points vs Purdue? 

You UM guys really belabor A point, just not THE point.
We might find out.  I have seen one Bowl Projection already (College Football News) that has the Purdue-LSU matchup in the Citrus Bowl.

These bowl games are going to continue to be impacted by who sits out and who doesn't.

I mean, in fairness to Saban, what’s he supposed to say?  “We probably don’t deserve to be in.”

He’s going with the best argument he’s got and the argument being used on here. The hypothetical “well who do you think would win” argument.  But he’s only doing what any other coach would do.
back in the 60's, 70's and 80's the classy coaches would take the high road

I doubt it's tough on the bookies.  But I have thought for a while that taking every dog and the points in every bowl game might be a winning scenario.

So long as Vegas balances the bets, they have a guaranteed win.

getting that balance w/o knowing what star players are going to opt out would be more difficult, I assume

This is why stretching the season is a bad Idea - they'll not get the Best - just what's left

I don't see any real downside.  Coaches like it because they get extra practice time with what will be next season's team.  For the fans, it's more football.

The bowl games have always been meaningless exhibitions, that's why they were created. And outside of the top few in a season that might have had MNC implications, they have always remained meaningless exhibitions.

Fans put way more stock into the outcomes, than the coaches or players ever have.

I don't think so, you just adjust the line as bets come in.
