Definitley some corrections need to be made. What is the sense of conference championship games (Texas - Georgia and Ohio State - Indiana being two examples) when both participants still made the playoff regardless of the outcome (other than money I mean)? And the traditional bowl games - Rose, Orange, Cotton e.g. - do not want to give up their money either. Now we are down to four teams and still two rounds to go - the finalists will have played fifteen or sixteen games (almost an NFL schedule). The FCS level has a 16-team playoff and handles this correctly but there are too many moneyed interests at the upper level competing for the bucks for a sensible system.
Sorry, OSU DID NOT play in the Big 10 Championship - Indiana and Oregon.
Corrections? With the destruction of the PAC-12 (for greed’s sake), who in the West gives a damn about college football (except for the gamblers).
I think the championship game should be a play in game. You win, automatic berth. You lose, you’re out.
