This, as much as anything may push us into a conference….why should anyone schedule a tough game that isn’t required on their conference schedule? The CFP
does not punish the big 2 conferences for doing it.
Avoid the consequences of early season mistakes, stay healthy, play 8 or 9 scrimmages before one good team to get into playoffs at the end of the year.
Alabama started it, Georgia did it this year too but had the SEC games at least. Now Michigan has copied it.
I doubt the 12 team playoff will alleviate the problem - the motivation will still be there.
