Why no Playoff for NCAA Football?
Generally the answer to most questions in sports is “follow the money.” However, the debate over how we crown a national champion football team doesn’t follow this pattern. You may hear an arguement that the “bowl people” have too much money on the line to change the system, but I can’t figure this out.
It seems to me that bowls could still exist for teams outside the top 8 and then we could add 7 playoff games for the top 8 teams that would be WAY MORE lucrative than any bowl game. With this in mind, I have no idea why the NCAA does not go to a playoff for D1 football.Â
