I also get that but every team off the bye has come out flat and I get it you have been off for a month

Considering how many domes there are these days, they really need to create a major bowl game in the Midwest / NE. Just put it in Indianapolis. It’s bullshit how far the northern schools have to go, especially considering that it’s now 4 rounds. One along the I-95 corridor would be great for the sport too.

The fans don't want to go to a cold weather city

Probably will continue to get CFP games every once in a while. Indy just hosted the Natty a few years ago

OSU currently +125 to win the title and Texas is +320.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see OSU open as close to TD favorites against Texas.

Circa Director just said he would have at it -6 so will likely open in 5 - 6.5 range

Chicago and Cleveland could have domes if you’re looking way off. Otherwise it’s Minnesota and Indy for now

The fans in the Midwest also don’t want to pay to fly to 3-4 southern / west coast destinations every year. Especially for rounds 1-2.

Having this round of games on campus as well would be fine.
The atmosphere at the first round games was so good it's kind of a shame the teams with byes don't get to experience that. Most schools have the majority of their fans within driving distance. They'd come despite the holidays.
I realize the big bowl sites would lose out, but you could rotate the semis and title game among them somehow I'm sure, and if the Peach and Cotton went the way of the Gator Bowl I'm not sure anyone would really miss them anyway.

They looked REALLY good. They should be favored to win it all after today.

I'm not saying they will, but they looked damn good

I know people are gonna talk about the WRs but for me the most impressive group for them was their OL IMO. I don't think that Lupoi is a great defensive play caller, but Chip Kelly absolutely destroyed him today. And that wasn't even the biggest coaching mismatch! Cuz good LORD Stein was brutal vs Knowles today

Don’t want to see any more rematches. Would suck to have to watch GA Texas 3. GA already beat them twice and now they would be missing Beck (not that he’s actually better).
Don’t want to see Ohio State whoop Penn State again. That would be a joke. ND against Texas acceptable. ND against Ohio State acceptable. That’s what everyone wants who doesn’t have skin in the game. ND under Freeman doesn’t get whooped by anyone. They might have lost games they should have won but the only game that was a loss and we were outplayed was Louisville last year. We should have beat Clemson last year and NIU this year. Ohio State last year as well. We have been in every game that Freeman has coached. If we had a decent OC last year we only lose one game.
