Okay damnit. I told you pro playoff effers that when you got what you wanted, you would not like what you would get.
We had a perfect bowl system with a mythical national champion and everyone got a chance to play during the holidays while having a big party for alumni which was a perfect opportunity for school pride and fund raising. Humans voted for the mnc and everyone got to debate the results and it did not matter.
Now there will eventually be a 16 team playoff that we and other G5 teams will not be invited to. And if you think that there will be bowls for the rest, who the hell will sponsor that and who the hell will watch? While we probably did have too many bowls, the fact that there will be so few chances for post season play is going to insure that the top 16 teams will turn the rest into the Washington Generals of cfb. And that is referring to the lower p5 also. The rest of us? Relegated to bowls that will not bring broadcast money? Our own playoff? Oh boy! Maybe we could set up a doubleheader in Frisco with dublay!!!.
I will be a fan of the Mean infinitely, but those of you who wished for playoffs just saw your wish heading to fruition. And that will eventually put us in the place that we dread, 2nd tier.
