To even out recruiting BSU and Kentucky have to steal recruits from Alabama and Georgia.
How is that going to happen?
Again, on paper Kentucky has the same shot as Alabama and Georgia now. If any one of those teams go undefeated they are in the playoff. Yet Kentucky’s recruiting is nowhere near Alabama and Georgia.
But expanding the playoff to 12 teams will suddenly even things out? It won’t. A 12 team playoff lowers the bar for the elites. It allows them to make it every year and smash the undermanned newcomers.
