The best thing that could happen to college football for the long run is for people to lose interest in the short term. I think that happens more quickly if these playoffs are a gigantic dud. That's why I'm hoping for uncompetitive games won by the favorites. Basically, I'm rooting against college football for the time being because I think this current structure sucks.Cougars are down 11 starters and/or primary backups to the portal and have now lost their HC, OC and DC. Nine days till the Holiday Bowl. It’s all a joke.
I’ve always believed the portal will change only when the Tennessee‘s and Georgia’s of the world are hurt by the few programs that could potentially have limitless NIL money and resources with a properly motivated base, like Texas and to a lesser extent A&M and a few others.
