16 teams seeded 1-16
1st round- 8 games (Reliaquest, Citrus, Texas, Gator, Outback, Las Vegas, Alamo)
2nd round- 4 games (Peach, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta)
3rd round- 2 games (Rose and Sugar)
4th round- CFP championship
Horrible idea. It's GOOD that homefield advantage exists so that teams who had the better regular season have an easier road to the championship. It should be higher seed hosting in every round except for the championship. No more bowls in a perfect world.

This Peach Bowl has been very entertaining, and last night's game was better than the score implies.

Not if the goal is having competitive games. I get my scenario will never happen but should if you are trying to get the most intriguing competitive games.
It is why March Madness is the best tournament of any sport hands down because it strips away all the bullshit and makes you prove it on the court.
And they would have the easier path because they would be playing the worst team the higher the seed they are

Hats off to ASU for one hell of a recovery from early in the game. If they had taken points through the game, they'd be on their way to the lead here

Boy, that DPI on the long pass is questionable. I thought offensive player slowed down to push off

Teams can win on the road. It didn't happen this year, but with a slightly different bracket it easily could have. We'll see it some years, and in others it will be only home teams winning. I'm OK with that.

Arizona State doesn't want to hear about not belonging. Hell of a job hanging in after a bad start.

March Madness should be the blueprint

I owe the playoffs an apology... this is a great game
-
Arizona State has outgained 442-210 and is +1 on turnovers.

And just like that... no change should happen to this format outside of expansion and giving every conference winner a guaranteed ticket. 24 teams is the right volume for 130 imo. And no one can ever complain again that they were unfairly excluded. Idc if it means a few more dud games. You might get a game like this. More football is fun. This is why you play the games.

Shunning 2 fgs and getting one blocked.

I remember HomeDawg saying ASU wasn?t any good after our game and Cooter saying Skattebo sucks also after our game. This team is fun to watch. Can?t believe we somehow got so lucky to play Texas, UGA, ASU, and Ole Miss on the road this year. When you look closely, Lebby had us in those games for most part.
-
Texas is gonna win, but good game
-
ASU is looking to be the main team in the big 12 for a long time. They found a great coach who is at his dream job and from Arizona. They will have a good team for awhile

I think the punt return putting TX up 14-3 so quickly made Dillingham think he had to chase points when he really didn't need to.
-
lol at Texas. If they somehow survive, start manning.
-
Hell yeah! Let's go Sun Devils!
-
I bet this game is a blowout if played in Austin
