Congratulations, college football.

You successfully ruined the best regular-season format in sports.

Sure, the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff kept more fan bases engaged at this time of year because of the possibility of winning the national championship instead of some consolation bowl.

Sure, more win-or-go-home games equates to more broadcast and advertising revenue for conferences to split among their member schools in the era of making NIL payments to athletes.
