Ah so we're getting the Texas-Georgia 3-peat scenario in this simulation.  Great...

Have Ohio State and Oregon already played?  Once?  Twice?

And Texas-Georgia in the same "neutral" stadium in Georgia for the second time in a month.

Oregon-OSU once in Indy and once in the desert

Cool, cool.  So all three games will have been played in Georgia.  Seems totally fair!

As a fan of Ohio State obviously I'd be happy if Ohio State made the CG for a second consecutive season but:

  • Ohio State playing Oregon twice in one season both neutral site once B1GCG in Indy, once Fiesta in Arizona.  Plus that makes four times in what, 15 months in Eugene, Pasadena, Indianapolis, and Phoenix.  
  • Ohio State playing Texas twice in one season and three times in 13 months in Arlington, Columbus, and wherever this year's NC is.  
  • Texas playing Georgia thrice in one season and five times in what, 15 months in Austin, Atlanta, Athens, Atlanta, Atlanta
Just seems so strange.

If it were 3 times in a row I suppose that might be relevant?  Where was the OSU-Tennessee playoff game played?

Well yeah, first round you earn home field advantage.  The quarterfinal, semifinal and championship games will always be played in the south

Seems like the NFL to me.  

Yay

Sure, but if this very scenario comes to pass, playing "in the south" isn't going to help Texas one bit.  There are no Texas fans in Georgia. 

Even if you remove the Bulldogs from the equation and Texas ends up playing the SEC CCG against LSU or Tennessee or Alabama, and a CFP game in Atlanta against Ohio State, that's not going to give Texas any advantage.  Texas has no friends in Georgia and if anything, I suspect neutral locals will pull against the Longhorns in any stadium outside the Lone Star State.

"The South" is hardly monolithic.

No, not that Texas would have an advantage there.  Just that the "neutral site" games are going to be in Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, California, so I have little sympathy considering their fans will almost always have the travel advantage.

It is weird that we've kept these linked to the bowls.  The bowls were all in travel destinations, because they were end of the year exhibitions.  Now that it's part of the playoffs, it makes no sense.  It's not like college basketball puts the entire tournament in warm weather destinations.  in fact, if anything, they are TOO generous with spreading the games around, by continuing to put to many games out west.

I've been beating that drum for years.  There are ALWAYS too many Western sites.  The non-western #4 and #5 seeds get screwed.
