00:00What's interesting is apparently the Big Ten, I'm reading from an ESPN article,
00:04Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, whose conference has been the driving force behind the 2014 model,
00:11has pushed back against the notion that it will devalue the regular season because the system includes tiered incentives.
00:17Certainly, if the top eight get a bye and then a home game, that is a real incentive.
00:22I just wonder, I think the big concern is that it will cancel all the good non-conference games, right?
00:28Maybe.
00:30You know, what was the big non-conference game?
00:32Texas, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan, those kind of games.
00:35But I like to see those games.
00:37I know.
00:37I don't want to wait for a bowl game to see those.
00:40Also, if you're going to dramatically overhaul all this,
00:43I get that college football doesn't want to go up against the NFL playoffs.
00:48Like, I can completely understand that.
00:50But the best weekend to have the college football title game would be the week before the Super Bowl where
00:57there's nothing to watch.
00:59Put that on the Sunday before the Super Bowl would be phenomenal.
01:04I would think all those extra games for the teams that make it to the finals, they may need a
01:08damn bye.
01:09So they could probably push to that.
01:11I don't know.
01:12That's a lot of damn football.
01:13It's a lot of games, man.
01:15And at least the facade.
01:18And people say these guys shouldn't get paid.
01:20They're...
01:20They're...
