Agreed, I bet it still has the top teams based on a type of ranking similar to the playoff commentee rankings now.A lot rides on how a conference will determine which 4 teams get the spots. If it's only based on conference record, than I do think those games are meaningless and would probably lose their appeal over time.
In order to prevent that from happening, I bet they go based on the top 4 overall ranked teams as opposed to using only conference standings, so that the non-con at lease matters some.
What I'm curious of is if a B1G/SEC challenge and (presumably) a Big 12/ACC challenge will lead to the end of the CyHawk game?
Can’t make money off marquee non con if they have absolutely zero effect and are just exhibition games.
