How is it more robust? It’s the richest teams taking over. The teams you listed were simply bad. Money had nothing to do with it. USC hasn’t been relevant nationally for years except bring overrated . Auburn and Florida haven’t been great for awhile. Penn STate simply crumbled. The richest programs made the playoffs along with the ones that spent the most money. That was no different than last year. The best you can say is a few more teams are competing because they have tons of money. We’ll see Texas Tech, Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana (Cuban gave them twice the money this year), etc right back in again next year. And the next year. And the next year. Unless some new money joins them. So we’ll have the same teams every year going forward. Sounds pretty familiar tbh. All it did was swap schools you'll see all the time spending wild money vs seeing the previous teams that everyone said was spending money quietly
