But can they ever realistically catch-up?
If they can't now an expanded playoff isn't going to help them. It will make it harder.
You're going to end up with a token G5, token Pac-12, and 10 teams from the other 4 conferences.
Bowls are done. They'll either be incorporated as playoff games or shut down further limiting exposure for those teams that need it to get their brand out.
As others have already pointed out, you'll probably see a regular season game dropped from the schedule by the P5. You'll also see no more Mercers on the 11 or maybe 10 game regular season schedule. That may sound good, but how many of those programs are going to shut down without that additional revenue - and every time one of them dies interest in the game dies a little along with it.
In terms of what's good for the sport, there's noting to like about a 12 team playoff at all.

High school has a playoff, D2 and D3 have playoffs, NFL has playoffs. And they don't seem to have very many of the problems being presented.
The last few years no one had given a crap about bowl games and if it was not one of the top 4 teams, there was a good chance players wouldn't even play and you get bowl matchups like Florida vs Oklahoma this year. They need to do something to make it better and meaningful.

Yeah, I'm not so sure this will happen. The Bowl games have deep relationships with conferences and college football, especially the ones that have been around for years. Look how hard the Big 10 and Pac 12 fought to keep their relationship with the Rose Bowl. And even the ones that don't currently have a seat at the playoff table like the Citrus Bowl and the Outback Bowl aren't going to just go away.
I just fail to see what everyone is excited about with this expanded playoff when you go back and look at most of the semifinal games since the 4 team playoffs started. They've rarely been that competitive. And we're going to water it down more with 8 more teams?
