Wouldn’t we potentially be looking at Utah and KState hosting

On campus games in the opening rounds would be awesome.
I think that’s a wonderful idea. Better chance they win their first round game. A homefield advantage they earned.
It's a great idea. Win your conference and host the first round of the playoffs, but don't leave out teams everyone knows are good and just happen to play in a tougher conference. If only there was another football league that has previously proven the model works... Wonder what we should call those teams that get in without winning their division err... conference?
Championship is a settled on the field, not in the conference room. Regular season still matters, but you are rewarded for getting better as the season goes on.

Let's not throw stones. In the eyes of much of the college football fanbase a trip to Starkville is worse than a trip to Manhattan, KS.
I think the on-campus games will be great. Cold weather outdoor stadiums up north with snow will make the home advantage great.
Well the CFP committee could rank 1-12 after all the games are done. 1-4 have byes and then the rest are on campus with hosting based on ranking.
They would have if they won their conference. But they didn’t, so they wouldn’t.
Nope. If you go by CBS’s predicted rankings this morning, the 4 host teams in a playoff would be Alabama, Tennessee, Penn State and Clemson.
Winning a conference and “earning” a bid is most likely only going to matter for the top 4 bye.
5-12 this year would consist of 3 championship game winners. The rest would be Washington, USC, and Penn State.
Sure, winning your conference carries a little weight but once you get out of that top 4 it doesn’t really matter.
If they had won the championship game, in what way would they have not earned it?
