This also shows what a bunch of self-serving, lying, dip shits the suits who run the college football playoff are.
When they allowed only two teams in everyone in the country wanted more teams and it was always the same answer, why, there is no way we can change this. I mean all the agreements and contracts and stadiums have acts booked for years, blah, blah, blah.
The instant they decided to change they did it with no problem;
When fans all the country and the media and lots of coaches said, hey, this is the perfect year to extend the playoffs to 8 teams, everything is in flux anyway, schedules are changing every day, no one can predict what will occur from week to week, some teams play, some sit out for a month, this is the perfect time to experiment and see how an 8- team playoff works.
Well, we all heard all the excuses i listed above, plus the biggest bullshit excuse of all--oh, this is the worst possible year, we can't possibly change how we do things because we are so busy dealing with this tragic blah blah, blah
Remember, the same suits who got up in front of the cameras and the press and lied through their teeth and said the Big 10 and Pac 12 could not possibly play make up a major part of the lying dip shits. When parents wanted to play they refused even to meet with them, even when the parents few in to make it easy. Once they realized they looked morons they decided in minutes to reverse course. The only thing that took a long time was making up excuses, getting their stories straight, and hiding their misdeeds.
Anyone--everyone--who has ever dealt with the legal and financial sides of these type of decisions knows if the top guy, or guys, decide it's in their interest they can do it in minutes. Working out the logistics, hotels, flights, times, may take a few hours, maybe even a few days, to work out, but just like the decision on this game proves, it's very easy to do.
