Not sure if it serves a purpose to have the last game on January 20.
And as we saw last year, every year there are only realistically anywhere from 3-6 teams who legitimately have a shot at winning, or at least deserve a shot. I think ND's independence would still serve well to be one of the 8 teams.
But I guess the money from the additional games is what this is all about.
I think an 8-team playoff would have been better
