I don't think it's bought and paid for, but it's a regional eyeball test, and in 12 years when the contract runs out, you're going to see 8 teams and autobids for power 5 conference champs. It's why I don't see the Big 12 expanding, or anyone leaving, even though they don't have a championship game, and half their teams are jokes. Winning the conference is all that will matter. Once 8 teams are in, the question becomes do you get an auto bid for the highest ranked little 5 conference champ? I vote yes. I think Cinderella has a place in college football, and watching those teams late in the year late in the season will be fun. Will the independents get autobids(ND) if they meet a certain qualification? There will still be controversy, but the 8 team playoff will be the final format, IMO. Beyond that, and you're diluting the value of the regular season.

Anyone who thinks the CFB playoffs are about "fairness" is a fricking moron. This has been an ESPN scam from Day 1. They push it every fricking day, because propaganda convinces all the mouthbreathers that they actually NEED a playoff.
The purpose of the playoff is to make TV money. It's to make sure the Notre Dames, the Ohio States, the USCs stay in the championship hunt longer than they deserve.
It's pure and utter bullshite. It's the ever-growing commercialization of the greatest sport on Earth. It's going to shite on tradition, it's going to shite on OOC scheduling, it's going to shite on the student-athlete model (which ESPN also hates, because they want to sell commercials involving characters like Tim Tebow & Johnny Football).
frick the playoffs. frick ESPN
