So you know we continued the discussion during the break and Kenny was disheveled.

He's like, this is gross. I don't like any of it. I'm like, Kenny, whether you like it or not is immaterial to the discussion.

It's do you accept that college football is now

WWE? I mean I submit to it. I'm not fighting it. I know I don't like it. But these networks run it. They've always had a hand in it,

make no mistake. That's how Bowles would make their selections. I'm making a point. It is totally in their control now because they're the ones who have paid for the rights to this product.

And these numbers are so big they're calling the shots.

Yeah, but see, Mike, I think this has already been going on for a long time,

since the original playoffs.

I think that it was the networks and they're getting their money back

because they were picking the four teams. And a matter of fact they had their own show

where people would watch it leading up to it starting on Halloween.

But the problem is you lose steam with that argument when I've seen Cincinnati when I've seen

Washington when I've seen Michigan State and if Iowa had beaten Michigan State

in that big 10 title game they were in okay Rico we're taking away those

direct results and the more teams you put in, the more subjective it gets.

I understand that, Mike, but this is one of those things where you may be getting upset over something that hasn't happened yet. You're speculating that it will but technically it hasn't because who would have thought that

Cincinnati and Michigan State and Washington before Pennix would have gotten into the playoffs.

I wouldn't have because I thought it was just going to be the same four teams every year,

but there were opportunities.

Now the beauty of this playoff system is that yeah come November you're probably still

going to have 20 teams vying for those 14 spots where your season is not over

because you lost early.
