What I found googling around ... and this expresses my view. If College Football does NOT allow for a USF or a Boise to rise to Championship level, it will become a stale product. Sure ... we have seen the SEC rise every year lately; but, it is the magic of a non-traditional having a say that makes the season interesting.
"This is a crisis moment for college football. It’s also a look-in-the-mirror moment for those who dictate the game’s ebb and flow: either the power-brokers – a Mike Slive, a Jim Delany, a Larry Scott, a Bob Bowlsby – can cater to their constituents, like a politician aiming for reelection, or they can do what’s best for the game itself.
What’s best for college football is equality. Don’t be scared of that word: it doesn’t mean socialism, and it doesn’t necessarily mean parity. It means that deserving teams get what they deserve; it means that regardless of the size of your stadium, your career winning percentage, your TV contract or the name on the front of your jersey, you get a seat at the table.
The new system, when in place two years down the road, should ensure that each of every program in .B.S. can play for the national championship. It must, for the sake of college football itself. Anything less would be a continuation of our current, flawed system."
