It makes no sense to cut off a substantial portion of your audience by just playing yourselves (B10/SEC). They might play the best football, but nobody will care out side of those areas when the “shot” to win games and play for a national title (as slim as that chance really is) goes away. Today the audience is built in to the season because the chance is always there for them to be one of those that can make it in. Just win your games. This ends with 50-60 football schools breaking away from the NCAA. VT and UVA will be 2 of them and they will go together.
