Painkillers and prostitutes are most likely already Bama's major recruiting strategy.....

The CFP sucks!

I am too. I understand what the OP is saying - there have been some really bad bowl games this year (always are, always will be), and they pretty much seem meaningless, but Bama and Clemson are playing in the game that should be played this year.
EVERY team sport, pro and college, has a playoff in which more teams than just Division winners make it. So why is Div 1 football the only sport where people whine about it? A playoff should have more than just Conference winners in it in a sport like Div 1 football that has so many teams in it. To limit it to 4 teams is ridiculous just because of the number of teams and conferences in it. I wouldn’t want it to be like the 68 team basketball tourney, but it should certainly be 8 teams at a minimum. I don’t know why they just didn’t do that from the get-go when they expanded to the CFP. If 4-5* recruits see more teams making it, they would probably expand their lists of teams to go to also, thereby making more teams competitive.

The answer is that Nick Saban is the best recruiter in college football history. He knows it too. When he was hired, he relayed to the press what he said to the ‘Bama AD: “You hired a crap football coach, but nobody will out recruit me.”
Immediately prior to Saban, Shula never had a top 10 class, and his first class was #49.

Maybe prostitutes. Painkillers are a long hard slide for a football program......
Whatever it is, this is the first year I have had almost no interest in watching the Top four play each other. Part of it was my negative reaction to the excessive advertising by ESPN of those games, but part of it was that I simply didn't care much who won. I was much more into some of the other bowl games. So based on a sample of one, the lure has deminished.
Nobody cared about the ACC until Florida State joined it in '92. Before that, it was rare that an ACC champion mattered. Clemson in '81 and Georgia Tech in '90 are about it, and Nebraska played them both times: Orange Bowl in '82 and Florida Citrus in '91.
The Southwest Conference used to be locked into the Cotton Bowl, so let's give that to the Big 12 and let the ACC have the Orange Bowl. The Rose can still be the B1G and the Pac 12. Pick two teams to play for the NC after those games.
