May I toss in my own opinion?
The SEC has grown from 10 core teams to 16 teams next year.
I think that dilutes the talent and dilutes the passion.
It also means that some SEC teams will have a less demanding schedule than others.
Plus, the National Playoffs expand next year - eight teams, I think - which will further dilute the talent and the passion.
More games, more injuries, more top players staying away from bowl games to protect their future professional careers.
I see what you’re saying and mostly agree...
I wish they would eliminate about half of these worthless bowl games they have now...It was so much better when there were only 8-10 bowl games...

How in the world is expanding the playoffs to 12 teams diluting the talent and passion? It’s about time D1 football starts actually winning Natty’s on the field instead of being chosen by figure skating judges. Every division including high school decides it on the field. There will be more excitement with possible upsets etc....should be 16 teams IMO. Or more. There will be less players opting out if they are playing for a Natty.
