It's a "feeling", I am guilty as charged - but that doesn't

change my opinion. FBS is the only collegiate sport who's champion is based on polls. The monopolistic bowl tie ins over the decades produced these "blue bloods". The recent consolidation of the conferences, coupled with the "private" playoff committee, just perpetuates the monopoly. I can make a factual case for that "opinion", but I digress.

Why? Both teams are mediocre. -- Maroon Baboon Dec 29, 2024 at 03:49 PM ET
