I view it the other way. Whatever else, we are certain that the teams that truly “deserve” a shot will get one. The bubble conversation now is just fungible resumes whining amongst themselves. If one of them pulls it off and wins the whole thing? Fine and exciting, but it just underlines the randomness that was always inherent in CFB.
