I’d love to know what viewing numbers would be if AP/CFP rankings were actually legit (i.e. Ok State vs. WV a ranked matchup compared to Texas A&M being unranked vs. LSU)
Here's what's happening:
The CFP has a set revenue-sharing program.
They're paying out HUGE amounts to SEC and BIG10.
Why?
They get the most viewers.
Why would ESPN want more SEC schools in the playoffs?
More views. More money.
It's not about football.
What’s been going on with USA Golf? We used to kick everyone’s ass, especially the international team, now we’re getting our asses kicked by both the Europeans and the international team
