Playoffs....

You’re making my point for me, should B1G teams be punished by forcing them to travel to tourist trap destinations that are almost all in SEC territory despite home playoff games being the norm in the nfl?
In the college basketball tournament, the highest seeds are local to the neutral site, which helps bigly with attendance.
Duke in Charlotte, Raleigh or Greensboro and Kansas in Kansas City or Omaha as examples.
Plus, you have multiple schools in the same pod/site or Regional.
These playoffs are going well so far. Need to add more teams to the mix in the future. 😂
Somebody needs to tell ESPN that Tennessee, Clemson, and SMU are just as bad as IU was. and Boise ST should never have been given a bye.
and maybe next year, reduce the championship back to 4 teams or 8 at the most. You just aren't going to beat teams like ND, Texas, and OSU at home.

the orange Bowl was similar to the rose bowl. if Miami played in the orange Bowl, they won.
I honestly thought the OSU / TN game would be the best one of the 1st 4 games. The Clemson / TX game was entertaining.
Hopefully the next round is better but I agree, the first round games we're all that great to watch. SMU/IU never should have been part of it in the first place, which didn't help.
Apparently, neither should have Tennessee and that should stop the SEC teams whining they didn't get in, but it won't.
The real truth is 12 teams is to many if your goal is to have all the games competitive. But that was never the goal, the goal is money and to stop some of the whining. So, I am fine with the current format and next round will have more blowouts because 8 is still too many. But the blow out all top teams that get stuck playing early games to try rest players and pull them to try and prevent injury.
Disagree. Include conference champions and cut out the 3rd and/or 4th teams from any conference. I don't care if the top three teams are all in the SEC. They have a conference season to determine who their best team is. If they do a poor job in determining that, that's on them. Same for the Big Ten who probably sent 3 legitimate top 12 teams this season (IU clearly was not). Should have been a choice between Ohio State and Penn State as the second team (and I believe OSU won head to head).
G5 needs to be represented.
Go to 8. Every year five conference champions (P4 and top G5) and three at large determined by formula with the caveat that no conference can have more than one at large bid. Formula also determines seeding once the teams are determined and conference champions don't automatically get top seeds. If the ACC champ isn't good one season, they can be 8th.
That has always been the ideal setup but somehow ($$$$) we went straight from 4 to 12 instead.
"Cad....all we need to do now is have the Lions of Nittany kill some Broncos, a Longhorn to gore the Devil, and our Bulldog to maul that Leprechaun......and we'll RULE the world!"
Yep. I would add if you're gonna do 12, just do all top 25... make it like the basketball NCAAT and be done with it.. that has blowouts in the first round and is widely expected.. seems like this is where we are heading anyway....
