I feel like if I'm the loser of the SEC or B1G champ game today, I'm pretty pissed. We just played an extra game for no benefit of a bye, possibly worse seeding, and my potential opponents get an extra week of prep with no wear and tear. Yeah, we had a chance at glory but we got beat and now have maybe the worst of all outputs.

ACC and Big XII, I get it. Win and in, lose and out, that's fine. But if I'm basically guaranteed a spot in the playoffs already and am worse off than if I just sat at home with no hardware either, what the hell am I doing out here?

how long before conferences decide there’s no benefit to having championship games?

Conference championship games mean a lot in terms of revenue. But to those teams who stand to gain nothing from the win in terms of playoff seeding and would only risk player injury?

I see no reason why those teams would bother playing their starters.

I completely understand that POV, but boy that says a lot about how far the sport has fallen where we consider winning your conference an unnecessary risk. I would kill to see us win the B1G again

Our deepest, most talented roster on paper since 2019 and we're afraid of ASU and Boise St. Thanks, Ryan

To be fair this is how a team makes a run… by destroying a team for their conference championship. They’re going to go into the playoffs with some big time momentum.

But they’re also likely heading to South Bend lol… let’s see this open and fun offense in the cold.
