2016 Football Polls (Coaches/AP/CFP)

So let's see. Houston beat the #9 and number 13 both quite handily thank you very much but is ranked far below and Ohio State and Michigan might both be in thrvFinal Four yet neither is good enough to make the B10 championship. Eventually this mess will collapse of its own stupidity or expand to a real live tournament. I'm guessing ratings are on life support within 3-4 years.

I think it goes to 8 soon - it has to.

Ratings for the championship game were off 25% last year and will probably be down another 10% this year. Nobody cares about the first round and playing it on New Years Eve guarantees it will be a disaster. If it is the same teams year after year and It certainly looks like at least 2 of last year's teams wii be back and maybe 3, it won't help. Replays of previous game if say Michigan were to sneak in need live up to the hype either. This whole mess looks like a worse and worse idea every year. It started out as a solution in search of a problem and went from there.

I would imagine that the ratings this weekend will benefit, no?

Playoff with 4 sucks
Keep it fresh with 2 new teams
Ratings are our hope
