College Football is a Terrible Product

[ShotgunDawg]

Being that there are currently 3-5 programs playing at a different level, no one else deserves to be playing for a championship. When someone else joins the group they deserve consideration. The Larger conference schedules expose the contenders from the pretenders. This guarantees the quality of the product. I believe that any program that schedules a FCS program should be disqualified from the 4 team playoff. Also a championship team should prove itself by going on the road 6 times in 12 games, 7 home games equals a disqualification. This is great quality control which forces competition to prove a worthy champion without controversy.

You don’t get it.

The recruit hoarding prevents anyone else from remotely being able to step up and compete. The class structure of the sport simply won’t allow it.

The sport cannot grow like this. College is the equivalent of giving 3 NFL teams all the first round draft picks every year. It doesn’t work

It's not as bad was when Bear Bryant had unlimited scholarships, but the present cap needs to be reduced. Alabama is still hoarding really good players.

Even without the recruit hoarding, the only ones transfering are guys that were at best second string. Also, all of Bama's second string tend to transfer to a bunch of different teams. So even with transfers, the talent is spread out without the potential of 1 team getting enough talent to challenge Bama week in and out.

Yea, but the ones transferring are the ones that Bama, or other elites, misevaluated and want to offload. If player A and player B are coming out of HS and Bama had to sign one or the other based on who they want more and live with their potential misevaluation if they pick the wrong one, that is a LOT different than them being able to sign both, figure out which one they want more, and then send the other one on their way. So the talent is not exactly getting spread out in the same way with transfers as it would if scholarships were cut back.
