Yes, ever since the adoption of overtime for the regular season, someone has to lose a game, and they always hope it's one of the bottom feeders.  What I wonder though, is whether the desire for "mo' money, mo' money, mo' money" will make the Big Boys decide that they want to feed fewer mouths who aren't spending as much as they are.  Will resentment over the spending differential make them lose sight of the fact that not as many people as they think are willing to watch 2-7 Alabama play 3-6 Texas in Week 10 as are willing to watch 9-0 SU playing 8-1 Pitt?  They're not there yet, but I think that the Big Boys' patience is starting to run thin and they'll become more willing to do something that's really stupid.

I've always felt the most onerous thing that will that will cause the separation is that the Big Boys eventually will want to leave the NCAA so that class attendance is not mandatory.  It's a great charade from Harvard on down (at Stanford it's "Science, Technology, and Society") and, IMO, at the Big Boys,  administrators are the only ones who want it to continue.
