I care way more about maximizing good, compelling football games than I do about deciding a "true" champion. While most people say they want a champion via tournament, if they were told half the games were going to suck and bore the hell out of them, they'd probably change their minds. |
Going by this year where you take the 11 champions and top 5 non-champions as at large, at most you have 3 out of 15 suck. And all those would take place next week. Past that, I don't think you'd see a game that'd suck.
Going on last year's you'd probably have only 2 games that truly sucked. Out of all the actual bowl games, I bet you have more than 2 or 3 that actually sucked.
