00:03 >> It's the five champions of the big conference.
00:06 We're, I don't know, let them be the number one team and
00:10 we never have to worry about Notre Dame not being included here.
00:15 But what do you think of this new model they just approved for
00:18 this upcoming 12 team playoff?
00:21 >> I have been literally waiting for this my entire life.
00:24 And as you can tell, that's a pretty long time.
00:28 It's been absurd that college football has existed as the only sport in America,
00:33 possibly the only sport in the planet.
00:36 I haven't checked every country on the planet, but
00:39 possibly the only sport in the world that doesn't have a real champion.
00:44 That votes on it or selects the teams that get to compete for it.
00:48 It's just nonsense and it's been nonsense forever.
00:52 And they convinced the two, three, four generations of people that that's
00:57 the way it should be done, because it's the best thing for college.
01:00 It's never been the best thing for college football.
01:03 It doesn't make the most money.
01:05 It doesn't reward the players correctly.
01:08 It doesn't provide a genuine champion.
01:12 It's been nonsense since the AP put the poll out in 1939.
01:18 And now it finally goes away.
01:20 Now, every team in college football knows what it has to do to enter.
01:26 I'll accept maybe Notre Dame, but that's another story.
01:29 If you are in a conference, you know you have to be the best in your conference.
01:34 If you're in one of the group of five conferences that isn't
01:39 likely to have an automatic bid, then you know you have to be the best of those teams.
01:43 So you probably have to win all your games.
01:46 But at least you know going in what you have to do.
01:50 And it's been just delayed way too long.
01:55 When they started the college football playoff, it should have begun as this.
01:59 And of course, then it would have been the 6 plus 6, but the Pac-12's death,
02:05 or I don't know what it maybe it's not dying dying, but it's on life support.
02:10 It's demise. It's decline. It's led it to 5 plus 7, and that's the right way to go.
