And if they instituted a playoff system they could probably make even more dough. They get lucky often enough to not fix the only organized sport, college or pro without a playoff system. Sets them apart from fairly sensible systems that work. Every once in awhile you get that BYU champion back in the mid 80's that leaves everyone shaking their collective heads. Remember they beat a 6 and 6 Michigan team 24-17 that year to win it. Amazing.
