there is no need for 4 preseason games. colleges dont get meaningless games to get all of the kinks out and each of their regular season games means a lot more than NFL reg season games.
it's not just to "get the kinks out"
They need those games to evaluate their roster and see who they're going to cut out of the guys on the bubble.

President of the Packers put out an article that perhaps is the Owner's proposal for the Draft Rookie Cap
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/17/AR2010121702560.html
Wonder what'll happen if it comes true, #1 pick gets $1.5 Million the 1st year.

Under the proposal, the first pick in the draft would sign a five-year contract and receive a $5.34 million signing bonus and $1.5 million salary his rookie year, even if he does not play a single down. In years two and three, his salary would be set at $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. His fourth- and fifth-year salaries would rise to $2.3 million and $2.9 million for a total package of $15.6 million. (If he is a quarterback, he would be paid $4.3 million in year six.) The first pick would still be paid well, but at a much more reasonable level than under the current system.

right but they have all of the OTAs and practices, so do they need 4 games for that process. they might not want to rush the decisions but there would probably truly be no more than 2 or 3 backup position battles remaining after the second preseason game.
