That's the problem when the fox is allowed to guard the hen house. In a
perfect world, whichever network(s) get to broadcast the FBS Playoffs should be 100% neutral when it comes to which conferences receives bids to it and how many bid(s) each conference receives. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world where the networks (ESPN in this case) operate with a separation of church and state (if you will).
