What's this?

Every other sport doesn't require the same amount of attendance


that is required in football.

If the Playoffs expands to 8 teams, then it will be interesting to see how they handle the Quarterfinals. Will the games be played on the same day vs. spreading the games over 2-3 days? It could impact TV ratings and the logistics on how the 4 schools distribute tickets for the Semi-Final game. Now maybe those logistical issues have been resolved through experience (week between Semi-Finals and Championship).

Given all 3 rounds will probably be played during the holidays, I am also curious to see how many people will be able to take time off from work 3 weeks in a row to attend these games. Also, I will be curious to see if hotels and airlines charge people a cancellation fee because their team didn't make it to the next round. Then again, maybe it is a moot point because corporate sponsors have 75% of the tickets to these games.

  Can you imagine how nuts the fans would be with home advantage in the CFP? -- ChrisLords 12/15/2019 11:59PM
  It would be crazy, and it would end up most likely with the same 4 as now. -- HOO86 12/16/2019 4:12PM
  Yeah, I think there would be a diminishing return on an expansion. IMO, -- reestuart 12/18/2019 09:07AM
  The emphasis should be on the regular season. -- HOO86 12/18/2019 09:29AM
  I disagree -- M-I-C 12/16/2019 5:18PM
  You should try to get a high seed then. -- Mr. Touchdown 12/16/2019 12:16PM
