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

amazing. You’d almost never see big upsets if higher seeds had home court advantage in the NCAA tourney.

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.

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.

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.

Who’s going to tell him about the NFL?

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

You can't make conclusions based on one year

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

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

Dec 21, 11:37pm

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

I have seen more buzz about football games this weekend than I have ever seen in

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
