Everything has pro's and con's. And this is one of the negatives of a 12 team playoff. The UGA-Bama game would have been a must watch and one of the biggest games of the season but now it's less meaningful and not something you schedule your day around unless you are a fan of either team. 2 losses will still get either team in the playoffs. Bama just has more of a cushion currently than UGA does. I suppose one could argue the game is important for seeding purposes but unless you are a fan of either team who cares about seeding.

I have to admit I just don't care for the new version of college football. Regular season is a lot less meaningful, rivalries are dead, and with the insta-transfer NIL landscape I have no idea who is on what team. It's become a lot more like the NFL only a lesser version.
