It's one in the same. If nobody watches, nobody cares and there is no "meaning". Is it a big game with "meaning" in January if it draws a .04 rating? The rating proves the game had no meaning and nobody cared outside of the people in the arena and fans on the university campus of those 2 schools ...which is a minuet number of people in the big picture.

College basketball's regular season has been watered down to the point it has become an after thought across this nation. People pay attention in March and that's a fact. Before March people just don't care and the games have no meaning because nobody is watching them.

Adding more teams to the football playoff of course waters down the regular season. Not debatable. Instead of arguing over who is #1 and #2 you start to argue over who is #8 and #9. Then you go to 16 and argue over who is #16 and #17 when neither of those teams (whether 8, 9, 16, or 17) are probably any good and deserve to be in the playoff anyway. The difference is sport of course matters when determining the playoff.  4 is a solid number for football, I wouldn't go past that for football honestly.  I would have had no problem keeping it at 2.

But this notion college basketball hasn't destroyed its regular season is silly. It has killed it to the point it can never come back. It's a 1 month sport. And that 1 month is amazing!
