One good mini sign that I picked up on in the last week:

In this new 16-team CFP structure, ESPN reportedly (so I am not sure of this) has some reservations about so many of the berths coming from two leagues (even though, ironically, they had a heavy hand in creating these monsters). ESPN's stance appears top be that the CFP as is would essentially block our significant portions of the country, which will not yield ratings maximizations).

So, at least someone of significance (ESPN) at the table is pushing back (it appears) that this is becoming too much of a SEC/B1G invitational with 5-6 wild card teams thrown in.

In the end, I think that bodes well for schools like SU. Maybe we get a third auto berth for the ACC (and B12) or perhaps in the major restructure that seems inevitable will include some geographic balance. I mean, to ignore the Northeast (and Southwest/Southern California) would -- in my estimation -- be severely detrimental for the CFP.
