If there was no CFP, what would the viewership be if it just all happened in bowl games? In other words, does the CFP actually bring in more viewers of college football?

There are definitely a few extra games being played, so maybe. I'm just not sure. I think there is less excitement about the CFP that is evidenced by the ratings, maybe it balances out with there being more games. Hard to say.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
