I guess I should clarify that my continued hatred of the cfp doesn’t actually come from the cfp being a silly championship model for cfb (it is but that’s another rant) rather it comes from espn’s handling of the postseason. The way they poison other bowl games and many late season games for non cfp contenders. Yeah the vandy - Tenn game is not normally particularly sexy or important in the nc conversation, but some weirdos still love that game. And the single entity that has the most power to promote (and profit from) those games continues to devalue the product in favor a silly little end of season tournament. I think whatever nc game/tournament/poll we use should be able to reflect all the oddities that make our sport great.
