[QUOTE="op2, post: 131069470, member: 419450"] That's the problem...conference don't want to give up anything in the short term. These schools are like drug addicts and they always needs a bigger fix. What's good enough today is good enough today, but tomorrow when they get more, suddenly what was good enough before no longer is. But the thing is, if you want to enlarge the playoff then you have to make the season longer and longer or else cut out something already there. If you have a 12 game regular season and everybody has a bye then you have a 13 week season. And if you insist on conference title games then you have a 14 week season and all that is BEFORE you can even begin the playoff. How about this then...get rid of the conference title games and have a 16 team playoff. That would be 13 more games to counteract the 5-10 conference title games gotten rid of. And I guarantee you every one of those 13 playoff games would bring in more revenue than the conference title games, which aren't really of much interest to fans outside that conference. What brings in more money nowadays, college basketball conference tournaments or the NCAA tournament? [/QUOTE]
