I think fans will get used to potentially less glitzy records if they are caused by stronger strength of schedules and result in playoff berths.

The playoff field will be chosen by the same humans who kicked FSU to the curb this past year.  They’ll assuredly include some 8-9 win SEC and B1G teams due to SOS.

One thing I like about the NFL is that, while every game matters, every game isn’t life or death. A team can lose to a good team, or even stub their toe against a bad team, and still end up with a high seed and a deep playoff run.

I suspect college is going to look more like that soon.  There’s going to be a 9-3 title team in the not so distant future, I’m sure of it.  (Well, 12-3 after the playoff run, but you get the point)

The playoff will expand to 16 teams (maybe more). And the regular season will eventually expand to 14 games.  There’s just wayyyy too much money on the table for that not to happen.

Anyway, I suspect people will adjust how they view records because the state of the game will demand that. The KC Chiefs went 11-6 last season. I think they’re fans were ultimately cool with that.
