To early to make conclusions, but I wouldn't mind adjusting the seeding rules to

simply say conference champions (all 5) can't be seeded lower than #8. Meaning a conference champion would EITHER get a bye or a home game in the 1st round. Allows higher ranked runners up like Texas and Penn St. to get seeded more accurately while still providing a reward (won't have to play a road game) to conference champions.

Home playoff game experiment has been a massive failure. The seeding is so

Nd absolutely deserved home field over Indiana

BYU '80

Dec 21, 9:41pm

Why? Didn't they only play 3 away games? Why reward that with more home games?

Dec 21, 10:42pm

Indiana played eight home games. ND had much better wins

Logistically, home games make the most sense for Round 1.

It’s too impactful in college. March madness is all neutral courts and it’s

Didn't the games prove of these 8 teams, the home teams were properly selected?

Flip the games to the other home field and see if the results are the same.

See if they flip by like 20/30 points?How much do you think home field is worth?

Dec 21, 11:29pm

How? If anything it proves home field is significant given today's results are

You guys vastly overestimate the value of home field. Vegas has it at 3 points.

Dec 21, 11:30pm

Maybe when seeding fixed next season conf champs without a bye get home field

I don't think ND, Big 10, and SEC want to give up home playoff games. I like

But SEC and B10 would presumably take away their byes. I guess the do want their

What's wrong with conference champions getting a bye? They had to play an extra

I just think there is already momentum to move away from auto byes for CCs

I'm still waiting for a 24 team playoff with all conference champions getting

All conference champs is a nonstarter. Watching Jacksonville St play Alabama

You play the CC to get in the CFP. Just like basketball.

Not a total disaster for CFP. They sold 400,000 tickets

Straight seeding is better but that's a good compromise.

I bet viewership was pretty good and it has been one year.

Not a downside. Expedites their demise.

Dec 21, 11:38pm

Nope. It's worked according to plan. That's what home field does... win games.

I think it will soon change to 14 teams with only two byes (basically always the B1G and SEC) and other 2 champs
