Hola.
Any time I tried to watch a game (mainly B1G) on ABC this past season it was broadcast in Spanish. Since I kNow very few words in that language, I didn't watch any of their games.
Adios :Smile:

The only way I can see to "fix" it is to reduce scholarships at the P5 schools. I'm not entirely sure this would work, but at least in theory fewer scholarships would force 4 and 5 star kids to more schools simply because Alabama, tOSU and Clemson don't have a scholarship for them.
It's probably not fixable. The playoff is going to continue sucking up all the oxygen and the combination of education+sports+government (Title IX) is a complete quagmire.
As a Nebraska fan, I'm girding my loins for the distinct possibility that the most exciting thing that can happen is beating Iowa.
It IS fixable...
it just needs to go to a 16 team system like FCS does....
And this year showed playing into December CAN easily be accomplished
first round (16 teams) after Conference Championships 2nd week in Dec
2nd Round (8 teams) week before Xmas
3rd Round (4 Teams) traditional bowl week
4th Round National Championship game....normal timeframe
Entire process adds a grand total of 12 games to the entire NCAA season Nationwide.
Does not negatively affect the traditional bowl season and participation by other teams
Spreads the participation ability and adds to excitement level. Entices more of the high caliber players to other schools
Only 7 teams would play a possible 15 game schedule and another 7 Teams would play a ”Possible” 16 Game schedule (assuming the losers in round 1 and 2 still go to a traditional bowl)
only two teams in the country would play a 17 game schedule.
If that’s too many games, shrink nationwide schedule by one game...the late August game....

After the SEC get's their auto bids, how are the other 2 teams selected for this 16 team playoff

I really think if you want to even it out you need to do 2 things.
1. Unless the player opts out Scholarships count for 4 years. If the player fails to pass classes and flunks out of school then you eat that Schollie for how ever many years up to 4 they have left.
2. With the exception of years like this players should be limited to 1 transfer per their career. (Excluding JUCO then back up.) Hardships for family issues could still be considered but not guaranteed.

I watched the whole game, mainly because I wanted to see oSU get curb stomped, and I got to see exactly that. LOL!!!
#2 is likely going to occur this month. The NCAA is scheduled to vote on a proposal that would allow a kid to transfer once without penalty.
Not what i was saying. I am saying they transfer once period. If they do not like their second location they are done with football. (or whatever sport)
The other thing I think they could do to build some fairness and equity into the system is an almost “Draft Like” system where teams are totally limited to the amount of 5 and 4 star players they can recruit per year.
say 3, 5 star and 4 ,4 star....something like that per FCS team yearly.
Players’s rights groups might have a conniption fit... but this does not prevent them from plying their trade at a school. Simply spreads the talent pool and forces teams to be VERY careful who they try to get.
The “star rating” would be a compilation of all of the available recruiting systems. Set by an NCAA regulation.
transfers later do NOT add to the capability to bring in another of that category....or injury or discipline or acadenic eligibility..or move to the NFL.
THEN we see who can really coach!
What schools would likely oppose this?
Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
Notre Dame (maybe)
Texas
Georgia
Florida
Texas A&M (maybe)
Michigan (maybe)
Oklahoma
probably a couple others
But the entire rest of FBS college football (like 120 schools) would endorse it heartily!...including us!

Your use of the term"splattered" with regard to social justice gives away your bias.
Lets put it another way. Comparing the unequal talent hoarded by the 6 or 7 (take your pick) top college programs to the NFL system. Even with equalizing talent fans were tired of the Pats being in so many SB's and yes it was affecting ratings. It was great for Pats fans (like me) but not so good for most of the other teams/fans in the NFL. However it was a lot of factors contributing to the Pats dominance not talent alone.
I submit Bama and a few other programs usually have such a huge talent advantage it's impossible for most teams to effectively compete with them. Those lessor teams are really beat before taking the field. That's not true in the NFL because on any given Sunday division leaders are beaten by so called lessor teams. There's only a very marginal talent gap between most NFL teams as opposed to what's happened in college football imo. Even the BEST NFL teams hardly ever go undefeated unlike what happens with college teams. The last NFL team to go undefeated and win the SB was Dolphins 48 years ago in 1972! Let that sink in as opposed to college ball. As a matter of fact the Dolphins are the ONLY NFL team to have ever accomplished that feat.
Bottom line I believe programs like Bama are destroying college football and it's only getting worse with the portal. I had to turn off the sound during the Bama-OSU as I was getting nauseous listen to the non stop gushing about Little Nick and Bama! I'm not the only college football fan absolutely worn out with seeing mostly the same teams year after year playing in the NC! It does reach the point where many fans simply no longer care to watch it. We have so called experts that make big money running college football and those people had better figure out how to start making it a lot more competive imo. If not there's going to less viewers each year.
Many experts are already picking Bama, Clemson, OSU and OK to make this year playoffs!

Correct.
One team played 13 games, and one played 8. Totally a pretend season thanks to Covid...but thats mostly on the OSU side. 13 is a near normal number relative to other years, 8.....not at all ! And that is on KW and the BIG.
