fanbase teams that have earned a spot but been left out. The nature of CFB is that it's really tough for smaller fanbase teams to have a special season.

How come the PAC12 can't manage to ever get a team in the Playoffs anymore?

Because the PAC12 is a G5 conference.

I've seen AAC fans now arguing that the AAC is on par with the PAC12

Because USC is the only team with enough talent to compete & they've been a mess

Are you saying that the PAC12 is a 1-team league?

It's funny that you say that, because no conference (not even the SEC) has more

But when was the last time the PAC12 was in the 4 team playoff?

What do you mean the P12 has been disallowed from having an 8-team schedule?

I thought their TV contract disallowed it.

Never seen or heard that, pretty sure that's not accurate.

Incorrect. All about TV Contracts.

Actually, that pretty much says nothing about it being in the TV contracts, and

Nothing "disallowing", so long as the PAC12 accepts less TV Money

Nope. It was for the teams in the North Division 100%. There’s no reason to

Lol! Sure. The TV partners would keep the payout the same for LESS content.

It would be more content. And he never said what you claim he’s saying. There’s

More away games (inherent with an 8 game schedule) means more PAC12 TV content?

Not "wanting" to do something = because you'd get take a money hit

Richbyu

7/13/19 12:36pm

The TV partners are already contractually obligated to pay a set amount.

Except....if the PAC12 changes the terms. Don't be obtuse.

Richbyu

7/13/19 6:27pm

Except there's no reason to believe that's a term. No one has ever said anything

Sounds like you believe in Larry Scott math. "We'll make millions!!!!"

USC seems like the only school capable, I agree.

Execpt the numbers don't really support that, as I outlined above. The P12 has

The tiny fanbases schools aren't preferred though.

Bigger fanbase schools in the PAC12 are given the best bowls

Which has nothing at all to do with the CFP.
