I don't disagree with your points. With that said, how did winner take all work out for baseball's ratings?
While March Madness 64 is excessive wrt to football, tough to argue against at a minimum each FBS conference champ doesn't make the post season.
Dismantle the bowls, let's get an expanded post season experience.
Agree to disagree.
I don't need to see 2-3 more weeks of Alabama and Clemson games.
The current system allows for multiple teams to get the spotlight during bowl seasons. And there is value in an amateur sport making sure they get exposure for the most programs possible.
If you just want to watch the elite, stick with the NFL, IMO.
And comparing basketball to football isn't close to being fair. They expanded the basketball tournament because they already had the dates and neutral venues locked up. So, adding games was easy.
You can't do that with football. The only way to expand the playoffs, without extra burden on fans, is to give higher seeds more home games. And that's just the rich getting richer. No thanks!
