Is the whole playoff system. Allowing certain conferences to control it and make it about money and trying to keep it all for themselves. This is college sports. It really should be a 16 team playoff with each conf. Represented and the playoff money split equally between the conferences. The rest of the teams could still be invited to a bowl game and we would have a true national champion. A system like this would be gray for college football and eliminate much of the ludicrously and controversy we deal with every year. (That's my theory anyway). Go Cougs!
