Let me try again. Right now, the bowls get to pick the matchups according to which teams will make them most money (ticket sales and tv viewers). They get to do that almost without regarding to which teams are better than others.
You are comparing that to the NFL, where the matchups are selected only by performance. And arguing that the NFL system doesn't lose money because it can't pick matchups for their profitability.
I'm saying you can't say that, because we don't know what the NFL would get if it got to pick matchups to maximize profits.
