for the higher seed. right now, looks like 12 teams with four getting a by week. Interesting what home stadium they use to announce this:

And they should have a revenue share for the opposing team. Give them home field but make them split the money.The entire playoff should be at the higher seed until the title game
Yeah, I'm onboard with that for sureAnd they should have a revenue share for the opposing team. Give them home field but make them split the money.
Good points. My understanding is that it would be the first game. So if it was this year, it would be December 3rd (our last game is Nov. 25th.). Other divisions have done this but, for example, but I've noticed several divisions end their regular season this Saturday.Better start upgrading the Beav right now. Playing a game there in mid Dec present a ton of issues. The plumbing isn’t designed for winter function. Sewer lines will freeze....not a good look for a national playoff game. Where are people gonna park? In mud fields? Massive travel problems if a major storm hits, including getting the teams and tv crews. Stadium could be half full in storms since so many people have to travel considerable distances to get there.
The BIG has a conference title game. That moves any playoff to Dec 10. Will the BIG get rid of a big money making title game? And even at that it depends on what other conferences do and how quickly the playoff committee acts. Could be even a week later.Good points. My understanding is that it would be the first game.

I think some conferences play after our last game. Not sure about that but college ball has continued, in the past, after our season.
I guess, it is possible that regular season scheduling changes to accommodate a 12-team playoff. I can imagine the first playoff round being Thanksgiving weekend, for example.

They definitely have to figure the schedule out. If the play the week after CCGs, the participants in those games would be at a disadvantage.The BIG has a conference title game.

Maybe...probably...but Bama will likely win and then 99% of people will accept it.A three loss Bama team gets a home game because they “look” like a better team. Most of the games will still be in the south favoring SEC teams.

All of this is trueYou get rid of divisions. You get rid of ccgs. Playoff money will eclipse ccg money in short order. How often has the ccg meant anything? Every playoff game will mean something and home crowds will eat it up.

The bigwigs love title games. They get interviews, get to pat each other on the backs, people suck up to them all week. The conference gets additional exposure which they love. Big tv money. Huge egos get stroked. What’s not to like?Explain. I don't understand your answer.
Owens-Corning, the official winterizer of the college football playoff.good point, forgot about that.
I would imagine that they are going to have to look at changing the schedules. I know the Beav has challenges but I have to believe that many cold-weather stadiums share those problems. Or, as you state, money is going to have to be put into stadiums on the very occasional winter game. I mean, Iowa might only play in the series home game once every 20 years but can't just update the stadium the week before when they know the team is in and has a home game. (which means you'd come in at 9 or 10 because 11 and 12 would be the visitors.).
And a larger playoff does that x10 for the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Pac XII and Big XIIThe bigwigs love title games.

Nope. A title game gets full attention on two teams and the conference instead of a game with an opponent that you have to share the lime light. Along with conference Big Dogs getting adored all week.And a larger playoff does that x10 for the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Pac XII and Big XII
You wrongly believe that conference championship games get a ton of attention. Aside from the SEC and usually that's the Big Ten. The Pac XII plays of Fridays I believe. The ACC is completely trash in those games. It's not the attention you believe it is. A playoff game is far better even if they don't have 2 team. Far better not even close.Nope.

And, surprise....after the conference title game .......you still get a playoff game! Why give up the title game when you would get both a title game and a playoff game?
Where you miss the boat is the conference TV rights. A psu versus ucla conference championship game is worth more than an orange bowl against Miami in terms of horse much the B1G makesYou wrongly believe that conference championship games get a ton of attention.
