with a playoff, especially extended playoffs with 8 or 16 teams like you want. Where does it get Mizzou? It simply underscores the unlevel playing field and continues to create an "elite" group of maybe 30 teams (if that) that will swap positions in this thing. Mizzou will never participate. Nor will Purdue, Texas Tech, Oregon State, Vanderbilt etc.

You mean to tell me these guys are going to be playing playoff bowl games during finals and on Christmas Eve? It's madness and like I said, it does NOTHING for Mizzou

But is it the number that maximizes revenue? - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 1/10 16:33:54
