So many Abe Simpson takes on these seven pages
Too many bowls / bowls are meaningless: This is decisively swatted down every single year by TV ratings (sometimes attendance too)
Ratings are down: Yes, for everything that's televised. Sports in general and CFB in particular still do incredibly well
Best teams spend money and cheat: Yes, for many decades now. Bad teams do it too
Conference champions should get in: I thought we were trying to REDUCE blowouts?
ESPN ruining sport: The two best games of every week tend to be on Fox and CBS. Their commentators say the exact same BS. And don't blame SportsCenter, PTI, etc., not enough people watch that stuff to affect opinion of the sport overall. Note the recent Clemson, Ohio State and OU ascensions all took place in the SEC Network era.
Yes, it's a business, but at least that is being acknowledged now. It's not the end of the world if the whole sport gets broken up so the top of the pecking order doesn't have to keep bowing to the will of the 60s-70s-80s nostalgists.
