Quit checking me out.
Which wouldn’t change by adding a few more teams.
But it does and you can demonstrate it. Especially if it includes AQ.
I mean the closest thing I've seen to a game not mattering was the SECCG in 2016 between Alabama and Florida. Even if Alabama had lost that game, they would have been in IMO.
Those will become more common when you add games.
Alabama last year - most years that will not be good enough. The previous 3 years Alabama would have been left out. Just so happened that others did worse that year. Add more teams, suddenly it is.
Add in 8 teams and Alabama is in every playoff since like 2008 probably, 2010 being the only possible expection(and it's funny because that team probably could have won it that year after everyone got back at the end of the year, but that's football).
There is really no denying that adding more games rewards teams for doing less and that means you are taking away from the meaning of the regular season.
