How much longer can Delaney stand by idle when this system no longer benefits his conference?
Whether it be the unlevel playing field with regard to 8 va 9 conf games...
Or the SEC taking virtual "bye" weeks in the second to last season ahead of the rivalry / bowl / playoff push...
Or agreeing to a system that gives an unaffiliated ND team a explicit "in" to the playoff despite playing no conf champ game, while in the case of this year possessing only the 61st ranked SoS and playing SEVEN home games!...
Or participating in a system where the second best SEC team is baseline assumed to be better than the other conference champions, as evidenced by the last two years...
Or participate in a system which now seemingly values your worst LOSSES more than it does your best WINS ie putting OU and UGA both ahead of tOSU...
And let's not forget about Delaney's own B1G on B1G hate, forcing the Big Ten east hiercharcy into a consecutive games in a row round robbins at the end of the season--ie us having to play PSU and UM back to back in 2 of the next 3 years?
Bottom line the Big Ten no longer benefits from this arrangement. The only option which maintains the beauty of CFB being the last sport in the world where "every game counts" is a SIX team playoff. 5 conf champs plus wildcard.
Stop this nonsense.
