Well, first of all, not all of the bowls are in any sort of agreement or arrangement to host whatever teams happen to be geographically nearby. The college football playoff is made up of a partnership of bowl games and TV agreements and those are what drive the bus. So it’s all a non-conversation until you recognize and accept that major detail.
There are probably at least five or six teams this year that could win the championship and the teams will get even closer together as transfers and NIL continue
I am not sure as much $$ is made as most of the NFL stadiums mostly line the owner's pockets on game days.
I bet any non-playoff bowl would jump at the opportunity to be a first round playoff bowl.
Maybe it's only four, but many years you don't know which four. Several of the four has usually been beaten during the season by someone not even in the playoff.
In a twelve team playoff, the last four spots will be a shouting match
And which of the major bowl games are you kicking out when there aren’t two geographically nearby schools to play in their game?
Agreed. So the shouting is meaningless. Cant do much about it. Although once they get to 16 teams the silliness should be completely obvious.
Well, that’s not what you said. You said once our game was announced it could have been played at any one of three bowl locations. Logistically that’s not working.
Who's agreed to it? Blatantly unfair.
ND is a no.
Pretty much anyone who has attended any of the four home games so far. Unless they have hard feelings or sour grapes.
All 3 bowl locations I mentioned were already bowls. And I never said when bowl locations would be determined
I strongly disagree. If you're trying to determine a national champion you absolutely cannot allow anyone to play in their own stadium. Like I said blatantly unfair. And if the men’s tournament allows teams to play on their home court, that should be done away with as well.
Well, it’s going to continue for now. And I expect there will be more home games (or the same) rather than fewer.

The pros are a completely different kettle of fish and have a finite number of teams.
I'll tell you who agreed to it. Fans of ND OSU Texas and PSU. They think it's more than fair. If the shoe was on the other foot, not so much.
Again. Sour grapes. Neutrals have talked about how exciting it has been and the energy level.
Yup, every single neutral liked it while sitting on their sofa watching it
Arizona State (Tempe) not Arizona (Tucson)- neither has anything for Sark this year just watch
Agreed. For the record, I was just being lazy and know that they are playing state, lol.
lol, I remember when the NCAA said, allowing IU to play a basketball tournament game
They loved to screw Indiana and loved to help Dook.
Who are these "neutrals" you speak of? I think you may be making things up.
And they all agree. It is a miracle lol
Didn't realize you were a famous actor
Let me add, that I’m fortunate to be able to listen to Sirius college sports radio throughout most of my workday. So during the course of a week, I probably listen to about 35 or so hours of talk radio on that channel and probably hear at least 10 to 12 interviews From station hosts, broadcasters and journalist and coaches and former players and all sorts of people. So, the feedback that I heard overwhelmingly on there, as well as the content I consume on Twitter, The Athletic and TikTok tells me that the home games were overwhelmingly well received, and people were very excited about them.
