It will make it harder to go undefeated, but with the new 4 game playoff, going undefeated is no longer nearly as important as it once was.


I think at some point in the near future we need to DQ teams from playoff eligibility if they schedule rent a wins from conferences like the Sun Belt or FBS.

Fans would be a lot happier with less rent a win games. Having an undefeated season is great and all but I'd rather see a 12 game regular season featuring all BCS (or whatever we're calling it now) conference opponents. If a team isn't eligible to be in the new playoff then they shouldn't be on your schedule. But unless it's enforced somehow, it will never happen. Too much financial incentive to schedule rent a wins and avoid possible losses. Imagine if the NFL scheduled that way -- bringing in a few Arena league teams during the regular season for rent a wins.

I am not opposed to rent a wins in general. However, I think every team should play at least one team from a BCS conference. Rent a wins provide much needed financial income for many universities across the country. Many schools would not have a team if it wasnt for those rent a wins
