Major college football is entering its third season with a playoff system, and it has been nothing short of a huge success. On top of the lucrative television contract ($7.3 billion!) ESPN gave the NCAA to broadcast the College Football Playoff, it has done wonders for the sport itself.
Way more teams now have actual hope of playing for a national title. A one-loss conference champion is close to guaranteed a playoff berth, whereas in the old BCS system, as many as five major-conference champions could be left out so we could have an Alabama-LSU rematch in the title game.
