Give the priest a break, he was either on sabbatical.... or Sebastian one of the alter boys... I don't care how big his pipe organ is, I don't want to see it.
I think most fans (except for those of the programs its rigged in favor of) want a season/postseason structure that mirrors those High School, FCS and the NFL where anyone can win a national title by winning their games. That's how a true champion is determined and how it should be. In such a system, there wouldn't be this gap, nay, chasm between the CUSA winner and those of any other conference because they can recruit and compete based on a programs merits on a level playing field.
Driving in it sucks, but all you have to do is dress warm and its tolerable. Especially if in a dry climate with low humidity. Higher humidity is another matter though.
Supposedly, Washington would have been one of those mythical teams. BYU crushed them 31-0 or 31-3 the next season. And it's not like schools in weaker conferences choose to schedule weaker competition like SEC teams do OOC. BYU has never shied away from playing tougher competition OOC while in a conference and especially as an independent.
There goes Porterhouse again, negging away like the irritated vag that he is.
By having a playoff structure where each team in FBS controls their own destiny by their play on the field (ie winning). This is the only division or level of football that doesn't allow for that for a majority of the teams.
If we level the playing field (by granting equal access, etc) more programs would be able to pick up the slack and thus strengthen their conferences. Think of the fan dynamics in college basketball compared to football. There's more competitiveness and parity and thus more distributed fan support.
And that is what has caused the slow decline in interest in CFB, that its the same dozen teams or so that are actually given a shot in this rigged system that is setup so only the major brands can participate fully. The sport once drew interest because programs flourished based on their own merits, that is becoming less and less so and becoming more and more predictable, stale and off-putting.
Not if what makes CFB different then the NFL, ceases to be. We already have the NFL, a college version would signal the demise of the sport, since the amatuer version wouldn't have the same appeal of the NFL, which isnt the same as the college game as it once was.
Fans of most teams, will simply lose interest in the sport since their team(s) would be cut out of the picture. They aren't going to simply adopt new teams and follow with the same passion or interest, even if they did adopt another team. Viewership, etc will simply decline.
