12. I may be wrong, but I believe the hitch in the system are the bowl games

none of which want to be a lesser early round bowl, nor do they want to be a bowl that has to settle for #17 and lower.

At least that was what i remember as the real reason behind the goofy "let's have some guys in a room pick 'em" system.

All the other levels do it and it would make huge bucks - but there are egos involved.

Sort of reminds me of college basketball being unwilling to challenge the NIT for many years.
