No, I have never lived in a ACC market, and I don't doubt what you say is true ... for very select and limited markets, but NOT for the majority of the country.

And the KU/Miss game would mean absolutely squat if there was a 8 team playoff, both would get in, same with OSU vs Michigan last year, and same with every single game in the first 2/3rds of the season.

Further in a playoff the winner of KU/Mizzou would still be 4 wins away ... in this format they are 2 wins away.

The numbers don't lie, NCCA Football draws massive numbers ... and those numbers jumped the day the BCS was structured. It's infinately more popular than college basketball, and the importance of the regular season is the number 1 reason why.
Didn't know about the top 12 rule, that's cool.

If KU doesn't have a big come back, they could easily fall out of the top 8 by the end of the year, especially if there was a rule that let HI into the playoff system. No one believed KU was good anyway, the voters will be quick to drop them like a rock.
