Since when do you have a sport with 100+ teams playing in the same league where more than half of them know they have absolutely no shot at a national championship before the season even begins?
I see what you’re saying and I don’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean those same teams aren’t trying to have the absolute best season they can. They want to win games. I think most teams, even Alabama, begin their season with the goal of winning their conference. Outside of that, let the cards fall where they may.

And that's what the sport was about for many decades. Win your conference, win your bowl game, and the chips would fall where they fell. Less emphasis is being placed on that now. It's either national championship or bust and ESPN has been driving that narrative for a while now. It also doesn't help that the post-season has been diluted with 40+ bowl games.
