Yep. But just like the Bowl Alliance, BCS, P6 and P5, they don't like to share.
Still, I think BYU pulls this one out.
I just thought it was an interesting topic when my friend said it. I didn't agree (as I said in the OP), but he brought up some valid points. I'm wondering how much the UCF season, combined with things like 1-8 from the PAC12 bowl season will lead the powers that be to look more closely at consolidating into a super league of consistent performers with a real playoff.
