And this has been my argument for years. It's silly to pretend that all 13-whatever teams in DI-FBS play the same sport. Hell in a conference like the B1G it's silly to pretend that all teams in a conference play the same sport. COLLEGE FOOTBALL DOESN'T NEED A NATIONAL CHAMPION. Let the teams play against their regional rivals. The fans and students are manic and show true hate (in a mostly controlled way) in these games, and that is so dang fun. 2022 TSIO was the essentially the first time in my life that that game had the same national implications that it used to, but I've never once given a damn about the whole state of alabama. If you really want to argue about who the best team any given year is, argue over it like kids arguing about baseball card stats. But the cat's out of the bag now, there can be no going back to no cfp and certainly not back to no title game.
Yeah, they need to do something. Playoff isn't going away. I don't get why the conferences are singular entities, even separate from the institutions...they need shuttered in everything-but-name and schedules handed out to the schools from a governing body over the "league". It's still not perfect, cause injuries and stuff change arcs, transfers and stuff make it hard to predict future performance, and 1000 other reasons, but the solution would be that every team ends up with an "average" schedule that can be compared, instead of this "well that conference is bad and this one is good, because perception".
Even in the NFL, this year's playoffs were like 80% blowouts, Superbowl included. So you always have off years. No one is clamoring for a major change to the playoffs, tho...
