I think a team only has one rival and those should remain intact. I think the regular season should be reduced a game to two minimum.
Perfect place for this, from the Pirate Genius
You can keep a rivalry game "intact" but you can't keep it from meaning less once you expand the playoffs. The regular season CFP, specifically rivalry games, are the most fun and unique thing in all of sports.
I can't agree with any effort to diminish that so we can see #16 get trucked by #1. Hell, look at the difference most years between the top 2 and everyone else. Very few of the semi final CFP games have been competitive in the fist 6 years but we want to be "fair" and let a team like tsun or Penn State in? Why?
