The expansion of the College Football Playoff will come with a cost—diminishing the drama and meaning of storied rivalries that have helped make the sport great
It won’t be the same after this. Well, that’s the way of the world. The people don’t always get what they want, but they do get what they pay for, and there is enough economic demand for an expanded College Football Playoff to bring it to fruition.
We can argue about whether it will be better or worse, but we can also agree it will be different. College football has always been built on rivalries, and Michigan–Ohio State was as good as there was. Maybe Alabama–Auburn featured a little more hatred. Maybe Notre Dame–USC was more glamorous. For a long stretch, Florida State–Miami, and then Florida State–Florida, had a bigger annual impact on the national title. Army–Navy is special in a way that no other rivalry can replicate.
For most Michigan or Ohio State fans, the mere mention of a calendar year evokes a memory of that year’s game. Some were more memorable and meaningful than others, of course. But a quick look at some of the most famous clashes should show you what is ending.
