HailToMichigan;1008023; said:Not a valid comparison. If the crappy third-tier bowls get to stick around even in a playoff system, the Poinsettia Bowl will still be the Poinsettia Bowl featuring Navy and New Mexico. If we're talking a 16-game playoff, the first-round equivalent is more like the Gator Bowl. A playoff game wouldn't have any of the pomp and circumstance that surrounds every bowl game and rakes in the cash besides. Nobody sponsors it when some 16 seed from the MEAC gets stomped by UNC in March, nor even do they sponsor the Sweet Sixteen, why would anyone sponsor an uninteresting first-round football matchup?
There would be no problem finding sponsors.
