How is that affected by money? Not, do you think it is. How is it?


If you don't think money plays into the BCSNC picture then you are naive.

You have still failed to prove your point. 1st the BCSCG is always going to be a sell out, so they don't really give a shite about ticket sales. We aren't talking about the fricking Champs Sports Bowl are whatever bowl you referenced in trying to make your point. Now, when you start talking about TV revenues you might be on to something to an extent, but if you really think either the computers or the pollsters voting in the Coaches and Harris polls really consider ad revenues in making their picks of 1 and 2 in the BCS, then you have some serious tin foil hats. The human voters definitely have their individual bias, but some marginal difference in ad revenue for the BCS is probably about 100th on the list of things that cross their mind when they fill out their polls.
