Hey Cass! I'm with you 100% with the experience for new team members as I stated above. I'm sure you were probably in the same room at the same time when I talked about this years ago. I'm thrilled that 103 team members will once again have this opportunity.

However, if HofF teams remain pre-qualified and one wins RCA, there will indeed be one less team qualfied for the Championship than qualified under the previous set of rules. That being said, you can say the same thing for multiple regional winners, HofF teams that win on the field, etc. So I'm not sure how much weight that little thought should have, it was just one of the questions that came to my mind.
