Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 5487821, member: 202"] Agreed. CFB in September is exciting because the big games are predominantly OOC. I think one of the factors that School ADs and Conference Commissioners are underestimating is that OOC games are not only a head-to-head matchup between schools, but a conference vs. conference matchup. Pride. Conference pride. There is a reason that the SEC became a juggernaut. When Bama fans are finished watching their Crimson Tide, they watch to see what Georgia is up to. They note the score of the Florida game. Think about the S-E-C(!) chant. Sounds obvious, but that phenomena will largely be lost with the Super League and even the P2 model. To look at another sport, the World Series lost a good chunk of its allure when interleague play began in 1997. [/QUOTE]
