First round on Dec 20 and 21 may not go well with students gone for break

Won't be an issue. Student sections generally only account for 10-20% of stadium capacity. There should be enough relatively local students to claim most, if not all of the seats. And worst case, if there's still unsold student section seats they could always open sales on remaining seats to the general public a few days before gameday. It'll sell out.

Its having the next 3 rounds all as neutral site games that I don't think will do well. Especially when its 2 teams that make the playoff practically every season and their fan base develops travel fatigue.
