So what's the point?

In addition to the 4 team playoff, it provides a marquee bowl matchup ($$$) for the #2 teams in each league.

This IN NO WAY COMPETES with the College Football Playoff. It just gives a nice marquee matchup to the teams left out of the logjam at the top of the SEC/4 Team Playoff Selection. It also gives the conferences some flexibility in scheduling (hence the phrase "Another Deserving Team").

If the SEC & Big XII are smart enough to bid it out and run it themselves and share $$$ (ie. cut out the old "Bowl System") then this will be worth tens of millions.

If there is a 4 team playoff, then it will end up being the #4 SEC vs #1 Big 12 as three SEC and USC fill out the playoffs.
