I was at the week 0 game at NDSU and sat next to a guys who has been a die hard Bisons fan for decades. He told me that about half the stadium was full during early round playoff games because the fans were getting bored with those games since they made the playoffs every year and won during most of them.
An extreme example since they were a fcs dynasty for a while, but I think it will hold as if LSU went to the playoffs at 8-4 to play a 10-2 liberty, I would not care to go to that game.
I am absolutely certain this is not only going to hurt regular season viewership, but it is also going to drive down ticket prices for regular season games.
Nobody is paying hundreds of dollars to watch a regular season game anymore. Those days are done.
Hopefully the schools are getting a huge slice of the CFP pie, otherwise they are going to be in pain from lack of ticket revenue.
This sport is cooked. Nobody is going to watch 8-3 WVU vs 8-3 Pitt competing for a CFP Participation Trophy.
And now nobody is going to watch the blue bloods other than their own fans, because they're guaranteed to get into the CFP no matter what.
Like UGA/Bama last week for example. Completely and utterly worthless game now. I watch games like those every Saturday and have my entire life, that's done now. Over.
The TV execs played themselves. They just fucked the sport.
