Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 1223287, member: 86"] Its not ironic, its understanding that the landscape has changed. The previous system put a premium on eyeballs on bowl games and polls. The new system, makes eyeballs and polls irrelevant. The committee rightly understands that if the public thinks the top four teams in the nation are Duke, Miss St., UCLA and Okie St ...those matchups will generate more eyeballs...and will produce a legit champion...and therefore create more interest/ ND's argument that it delivers "more eyeballs" has been neutered. Why people don't get this is amazing. The committee is filled with people who for years have been shunned by the ND Fan factor. Why people think they will not remember the times that their team was bumped to a lower bowl because ND "had a better TV following" is not realistic. [/QUOTE]
