Yea, CCG's and the current invitational is a terrible set up that is really bad for the sport of college football. Just look at the Michigan St rb and Pitt qb opting out of what is supposed to be a huge NY6 bowl game.
Invitational needs to go, on field play must determine playoff teams.
Nobody wants rematches, CCG's go away.
Regular season games need to matter, every single one of them.
Can't have star players opting out of what are supposed to be big time games.
Imagine College Football with an 8 team playoff of conference champions and highest ranked independent.
1) SEC champ
2) B1G Champ
3) Pac Champ
4) ACC Champ
5) Big East Champ
6) Big 8 Champ
7) SWC Champ
8) Independant
Bowl Tie -Ins:
Rose- Pac
Sugar- SEC
Cotton- SWC
Fiesta- Big 8
Orange- Big East
Peach- ACC
Cherry- B1G 10 *Some might remember the Cherry Bowl in Detroit in '84 and '85. Was the 5th highest paying bowl in '84 and had 70,000+ in attendance.
Independants- ND, Penn St, Utah, BYU, UCF, Tulane, Hawaii, UCONN, Temple, Army, Navy, Air Force.
