I agree completely, but ESPN is not going to willfully give up control/money over NCAA FB. They're going to make someone force them to give it up.
Wow, lots of games played yesterday that affected the playoff picture. Yesterday is a prime example of why you don't get upset about midseason rankings and placements when there's still so much football left to be played.
SEC: Alabama and Georgia are it. No other team, even if they run the table, is making it in.
big 10: Michigan State couldn't bear the burden of being in control of its own destiny and dropped an ugly loss to Purdue. Minnesota also lost to Illinois so that eliminates their outside shot as well. The big 10 is now only going to be sending 1 to the playoff for sure and it will either be Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State.
Big XII: Oklahoma is basically it with an outside shot for OSU. Baylor lost to TCU so any prayer they had is now gone.
Pac: Oregon still technically in it, but still needing help.
ACC: Wake Forest lost to North Carolina so their dream of coming in and causing problems is gone.
All others: Tulsa gave Cincinnati quite a scare, but Cincy held on 8 times at the goal line to get the win. It's only ND left otherwise, and they need help.
So Alabama/Georgia, OhioSt/Mich/MichSt, OU/OSU, and Cincy is how things are currently looking. Er'body else needs help getting in.
