And a majority of those sales were likely scalpers and fans expecting to resell at a major premium once the last few weeks of the season hit. I'm sure some are confident fans and/or fans that will go no matter who plays to watch a good game, but they're almost certainly a negligible number.

Some of them would be bought by companies that sell package trips to the games, too. No way they could afford to wait until mid-season to purchase seats for their customers. Seems like that could account for quite a few of the sales.

Yeah, but they usually get their own allotment to chose from, I believe. I was referring to the regular sales that happen on Ticketbastard for everyone after all the usual corporate and organizational allotments have been doled out. Granted, that was probably half or less of the total available seating capacity (another thing that pisses me off, but I kind of understand why they do it), but still.

They are building a new "Georgia Dome" downtown that will host the SEC CG, the Falcons, among other things.

Paul Johnson's plan for an 8 team playoff is one I can get behind:
http://georgiatech.blog.ajc.com/2016/07/28/paul-johnsons-proposal-for-an-eight-team-playoff/
Given this system the 2015 playoff would have been:
1. Clemson (ACC Champ)/8. Houston (best Mid Major)
2. Alabama (SEC)/7. Ohio State (wild card)
3. Michigan State (B1G)/6. Stanford (PAC 12)
4. Oklahoma (Big12)/5. Iowa (wild card)
Pretty compelling tournament if you ask me.

One thing that troubles me a little, and this is me standing up for the little guy. With the extra games and extra practices and extra media exposure and extra money the big boys would get year after year, won't that just widen the gap between them and the other teams. I know I should be all for it since we are one of the big boys, but the fairness aspect of this bothers me.

Life aint fair. Fuck em.
That said, I'm not in favor of an 8 team playoff. I think 4 is just about right. I can see a team ranked 4 having some claim that it's the best team in any particular year. But the 8th? I can't get there.

The committee would've definitely put ND in over Houston. And maybe then put ND at 7 to avoid a rematch with Clemson.
I agree that it's tough for a #8 team to claim to be worthy, but keeping it a four teams could keep a worthy #5 or even #6 out. I'm pretty sure that most of us feel that we were just as worthy as Sparty for being in the payoffs...maybe even Iowa.
