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

I’d be surprised if they don’t change it. I’d still like some benefit for being a conf champion…otherwise no need to play the CC games

Nd absolutely deserved home field over Indiana

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

Not a downside. Expedites their demise.

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