It was a system everyone agreed to play under. Just like the CFP.


I disagree. The bowl "system" has been money driven for its whole history. It's money and money alone that has perpetuated the asinine major college football post season.

Regrettably, that has foisted upon the public a perception that major college football is somehow different from other divisions, even the pros. Subsequently, we have missed out on glorious seasons followed by even better playoffs that would have seen some truly historic programs turn away all comers and others that suffered monumental upsets to teams that got stronger as the season went on.

^Nail meet head. It has always been the most asinine postseason setup in all of sport. The only proponents are the bowls who benefit from the revenue and the usual suspects who get the benefit of the doubt at selection time. I wish Kentucky basketball could just up and claim championships based on AP polls. Could you imagine where we'd be?

You can't disagree though, it WAS a system that everyone agreed to play under (multiple times at that). You might not like it but facts are facts.
