He’s a Notre Dame homer, but he’s not dumb. I think he’s trying to kill CCG
and get to 16 as fast as possible. Remember psychologist tell us that 95% of our thoughts are about ourselves and most of them are about survival.
My educated guess is he is trying to save his job by getting as many ACC teams in the playoff as possible. The ACC was lucky to get two, but Penn State handling SMU was bad for the next playoff selection. So this absurd proposal is likely to try to kill CCG’s and expand to 16. That way the CCG will not play you out of the playoff. However, you have to make up the money for the CCG. Do that by doing week 0 rivalry games. There will be more games, and therefore more money. Oklahoma Nebraska, Virginia Tech West Virginia, Kansas Missouri, UVA UMd and maybe even move games like Florida Florida State, so Thanksgiving weekend is a Conference Game that could have an effect on the playoff, like Alabama Auburn and Michigan and Ohio State. In other words, rivalry games inside the conference.
