Flipping through last night, and saw a few minutes of the BTN show w DiNardo, Howard Griffith and (IIRC) Dave Revsine….. that studio show.
Of all the media talking heads to actually speak some sense on that issue.... I would not have picked DiNardo . But he was spot on (and the only one of that breed who I have ever heard it from).
Talked about:
A) How the current system is a joke.
B) How it is not the "fault of the committee" or any of that jibberish…. but that
C) It is the SYSTEM that is fundamentally FUBAR and simply irredeemable (no matter which pack of monkeys one chooses to sit down in a committee room)
DiNardo was the fist talking head that I have seen (granted, I pretty much avoid most of that stuff - especially the ESPN idiots), but he was cogent and intelligent in laying out some common sense (rather than delve into the idiocy of "The committee got it right/not right.... Strength of schedule.... Good Wins.... Bad Losses.... Conferences" ..... etc etc etc …. all of the normal utterly pointless idiocy one sees from the ESPN types).
DiNardo just plainly laid out how their is no way to make an idiotic system - that requires that at least 1, if not 2 or 3, of the Conference Champions be excluded from playing for the (laughable) "championship". - work.
And that ANY attempt to create a "Playoff" (even if that "Playoff" is one that is purposed with crowing a "champion" from among the P5 teams) would simply have to account for all 5 conference champs..... and that, therefore, it needs to be at a minimum of 8 (the smallest "power of 2" that is greater than or equal to 5).
And all the rest is just noise to distract from the fundamental FUBAR.
Yeah for DiNardo! (Who'da thunk it?)
