More games = more money. Even when there was only a 2 game playoff with the BCS, there were more blowouts than close games. I don’t think this idea of the expanded playoff was predicated on the games being close. Even this past weekend, The biggest blowout was the 8-9 game with the big brands. I don’t think they care that much about nfl overlap. People will still watch. Also we’ve only been through one round. The first upset that happens everyone will be back saying see what can happen when you let in the boises and ASUs. Now I don’t expect it to happen, but with rested teams coming off of Byes and neutral sites coming up you never know.
