Solving a problem (long games) using a solution that no one likes.

Is it a problem though? I mean, how many college football games go past two OTs are so? The vast majority of CFB games don't even make it that far. When games do start to get into triple OT and beyond range, it captivates the national fanbase and is fun as hell to watch.

While I hate it, I also recognize this may affect maybe one or two of the CFB games I will watch next year. So it's whatever

Yeah for me it's more the knowing we will never see an epic six OT game ever again.

I like this because if the ACC tried to strong arm them, they could play the Big Ten card. If the CFP strong arms them, they have no leverage.

Unless the CFP cowardly keeps out a non P5 team, I like this because I'll have no interest in a 12 vs 13 debate and can ignore it. There is usually valid points in a 4 vs 5 discussion.
