re: College Football Playoff schedule unveiled for 12-team field in 2024, 2025

The first two rounds should be on campus.

Quarterfinal games are going to be played in half-empty stadiums.

What I'd like to see, and will never happen, is for college football to go back to 11 regular season games, allowing this calendar to be bumped up by a week.

Winning the championship will be very difficult. The 1 seed still has a lot of opportunities to lose because the competition will be fierce

Last year, you think a Michigan vs USC/Bama Rose Bowl quarterfinal wouldn't sell out? Clemson vs Penn State/Ohio State Peach Bowl? Georgia vs Kansas St/Tenn in the Sugar?

This is completely irrelevant to what has been created.

Fanbases will hold out hope for the semi-finals and final games to save money. It already happens in the current 4-team model. Semifinal games tix are cheap unless it's being played in someone's backyard.

Also, I think it would be rewarding for the top seeds to get to host a playoff game.

Potentially four extra games for the champion and runner up? I see lots of opt outs for highly ranked draft picks.

You are getting downvoted, but you are most likely correct.

This is an abortion that will be the nail in the coffin

I love the idea of a true playoff, just like all other sports have. Not a huge fan of this execution though. It’d be 10x better if we left the semis and NCG exactly as they are today, and the quarterfinals were also on campus of the higher seeded team. Imagine the scene of Bama at Michigan in midwinter or Ohio State at Clemson with a semis birth on the line.

The top seeds will rightfully complain that they are the most deserving and should have a home game on campus along with the bye. The first two rounds should be on campus.
