is the best thing for college ball. Then, the big bowl games continue on separately matching all the second place teams from the conferences. There is still a lot of money in the bowls and more money in the playoff.

In a typical year, you might have Bama, FSU, Oklahoma,
Ohio St, USC, plus a good independent and maybe a good non-power5 team in there along with a second place team.

Then the bowls are still getting teams like LSU, Texas, UGA, Clemson, Michigan, Oregon, Stanford, Florida, etc for the Rose/Sugar/Orange matchups.
