They’ll make more money if everyone plays week 0 not just a couple of teams
playing at the end of the year. Right now only a handful of teams can play week 0, and same thing with this play in games. Be consistent, and let everyone play the SAME AMOUNT OF GAMES!
College Football has thrived more than some others because of the heavy emphasis on the regular season. So let Oklahoma play Nebraska, Virginia Tech play West Virginia, Virginia play Maryland etc. week 0, then have the Conference Rivalry games on Thanksgiving weekend help determine who makes the playoff. This playoff before the playoff is not going to make as much money as week 0 OOC Rivalry games. Plus do we really want to reward 3rd through 6 place teams. Do they really want to play another game right before the playoff?
Make it like the Daytona 500 starting the new racing season. People will be talking about the OOC rivalry game the entire off season. There is more money there with more games, emphasizes the regular season and it can bring back some of the best annual rivalry games, that have been lost with expansion.
