Like it or not, a 13 or 14 game regular season is inevitable. As leagues have expanded it becomes more difficult to have the conference teams play each other as frequently as people would like. As it is today with an 8 game schedule some teams don't play each other very often. As the number of teams expand that situation becomes exasperated and even exacerbated.
Big Jim Deleney said that conferences are about playing each other more often not less often. Now let's throw in the prospect of increasing revenue for each university with 1 or maybe 2 more home games per year. How's that sound? Look at it from a conference stand point. More gams on TV means more revenue. How's that sound? This makes up for those teams which won't get into the "playoff".
Yes of course it will!
No it won't.
Some teams will be left out of the playoffs and nothing will make that better unless they make the playoffs larger. I expect large scools to start playing well into December at some point in the not too distant future.
But first the playoffs are starting to evolve.
