Purely a guess but maybe those that could provide offense haven't shown equivalent defensive skills in practice.
But I agree, we need some kind of adjustment.
Massie can be a bulk scorer at times. He had 7 points in 17 minutes.
I'd rather give Newell's minutes to Mason. He only had 3 points in a pedestrian 20 minutes.
Newell is also 6-9 but had zero rebounds. Mason is 6-6 but super athletic like Lorient. Put the super athletes on the floor!
I'm in my mid 40s and I feel similarly. When I was a kid there were maybe 20 total bowl games max, so you usually had really quality matchups in all of them. You'd also go into New Year's Day with maybe 6 or 7 teams thinking if things fell right they could be national champs.
Even the earliest forms of playoff discussion I remember back in the mid to late 80s usually just involved a game after the bowls (as then constituted) between whoever ended up as 1 and 2.
