Also on the agenda at this meeting with the commissioners was the composition of the selection committee that will set the field for the playoff. They have said they would like the committee to be similar to the one that picks the teams for the NCAA basketball tournament, made up of conference commissioners and athletic directors.

This is a huge overhauling of a system that at one time was the envied of the sports world, but as College Football
has grow up along with social media, fantasy football , which is not only being played in the NFL but also at the college level now and with the ever increasing amount of money that colleges get from TV coverage.  

The money doesn’t stop with just TV coverage either, it flow of money also comes from ‘games’ sold using the college logos and even more money coming from endorsements from advertisers, such as Nike.
 
College football is not just for college students and their alumni anymore, it is all about the TV coverage and money.

This is the main reason behind the fact that college football had to move beyond the crazy bowl system that they are using now and into a system that will clearly have a winner and only one winner!
