Gary Patterson’s biggest beef with the CFP? It’s still a popularity contest

BY DREW DAVISON

Yes, it is. Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Zero U, Texas all are legacy programs with limitless sunshine pumping from the pimp press while other programs are out there slogging it. When Utah went to the Fiesta Bowl in 2005, the network (ABC or Fox if I recollect) had this segment about the “little train that could”. The “little train” enrolled 30,000 students and has an enormous research footprint. Same with the Sugar
Bowl.
