There's a good chance that we'll get the final in Chicago if the Bears build the new stadium downtown instead of 35 miles away in Arlington Heights. It'll be a retractable roof, so there won't be any real weather advantage though.

If it were an open air stadium, I doubt a CFP finals or Superbowl would ever get played there. With retractable roof, it certainly will.

So Oregon goes 13-0 and gets the #1 seed. As thier reward, do they get a cupcake like Arizona State or Boise? Nope, they get the team that lost to them by one point at home and is favored to beat them at a neutral site. Something in the CFP format needs to change....

Reseeding would lead to what we currently have. It only has an effect if a dog wins. It’s the auto byes will likely drop from 4 to 2 conference champs.

For the people complaining about blowouts

20 of the 30 4 team playoff games were decided by 10+ points.

There’s no system that’s ever going to prevent blowouts. I suspect the 2nd round games will be more competitive but likely most years lots of blowouts in the 1st round games

Yeah, I mean it's not the NFL. There is a massive disparity in talent distribution in CFB.

There are still only a handful of true heavyweights. The light weights and middle weights bought into the ESPN hype all these years and thought they could punch up.

Now they get to find out.

this is reason #296,328 why i’m glad we didn’t hire that Douche Nozzle when we had an opening.

the Committee’s job is not to provide “riveting” games.
it’s to reward teams that had the best seasons and didn’t lose to teams like Kentucky, Vandy, or OU.
If you want to go to the playoffs, don’t get your shit shoved back into your colon by basketball schools.

Part of the lifetime of hypothesizing is about the proximity factor as well.

USC Miami and LSU have won how many NC's over the decades in either their actual home stadium (Orange Bowl) or across town/backyard (Rose Bowl, New Orleans)

i’ve always said proximity is definitely a factor.
and i’m shocked that there has never been a huge public push from cities like Indy, Detroit, or Minneapolis to get into the playoff rotation.

and by public i mean scream it from the rooftops that you want in.

they played an open air Super bowl in New York (ok, New Jersey) recently.

We (nerds on Buckeye Planet) have been pushing for that since the start of the playoffs.
"Oh, let's make these at neutral sites. Hey! We already have a bunch of neutral sites in the bowl games. Let's play the playoffs at the bowl games. That way, we maintain that we actually care about the fake history that is the bowl system."
"But those bowl games are all in the south and west. What about something in the midwest?"
"There are no major bowl games in the midwest."
"They don't have to be in fuckin' bowl games! Play in Indy, Detroit, or Minneapolis."
"Nah."

I think I am still shocked that they made Tennessee go north to the cold. I predicted (wrongly, I admit) that some magic would always keep the big southern teams from coming north. Maybe the committee didn't have enough magic to switch Ohio State with Tennessee in the rankings.
