All I'll say with all this drama is that I may be almost as invested in this year's orange bowl as last years. And I honestly don't know what outcome produces the most drama? FSU win? Well obviously that means they deserved to play in the cfp, and maybe they'll even claim the nc. UGA win? The sec front office (and thus the cfpc through espn money) is clearly playing favorites since they are based in Birmingham after all. FSU boycotts? πΏπΏπΏ
The orange bowl won't mean anything. Too many players will sit out for it to matter. This is the downside of the playoff, all the other bowl games get less fun because the players you want to see are sitting out.
While I absolutely subscribe to this argument, I think the outlined narratives will still be present. Even if 30 years ago it would be front page headlines instead of sports page headlines now.
