It also helps that the regular season of golf is meaningless to most programs. Results during those tournaments are not tracked by alums, golf fans, etc.Â
If college football had a way to completely devalue the regular season by hosting a tournament where anyone could win, I doubt that would be embraced. For AD budgets it is very important that the games during the season are important enough for people to come and support the squad.
Upsets are also entertaining for the NCAA basketball tournament, but I have heard concerns that maybe the regular season is not important enough if 5 or more teams from a conference get at-large bids.
