@marktilbury #4 - because the tax isn’t hidden in the price, it’s much more transparent and harder for politicians to raise it without it being clearly obviously. That is one of the reasons our sales taxes are mostly in the 6-8% range and the UK has a 20% VAT.
@CFBKings To be fair, the ACC Championship requires them to beat other ACC teams. For the CFP, they just have to beat a few SEC teams which has proven to be much easier.
