I'm well aware of that - although, of the college sports I follow, football seems to be the only one that willingly sacrifices tangible competition for money. The worst you can say about CBB or some of the other tournament sports is that they may fudge seeding a bit to get desired matchups or locations, but at least the teams who deserve to be there get a chance (and no one cares that the 35th best P5 team might have gotten hosed).
CFB desperately needs a real tournament (which should, in theory, mean more money too) or to just go back to top 2 AP teams and call it a day.
