If I was them, I'd want as few people witnessing that game as possible.
I'm with you but it isn't about witnesses it is about dollars. Those Playoff game tickets are going to command some serious coin.

The Carolina Panthers play at Clemson's stadium which holds 80k while the Washington Redskins whatever they are now play at FedEx Field which holds 58k.

The only thing we know for sure is that the top 4 conference champions get a first round bye.

There is no guaruntee that the 5th ranked conference champion will host a first round game.   The only thing the 5th ranked conference champion is guarunteed is a spot in the 12-team field.   
It is also possible a 6th ranked conference champion could make the 12-team field as an at large team.

I think we're all just hoping for Oregon State to go 11-1. Right?

And we can all enjoy ND never being a top 4 seed.  Ever.  Even if they're 12-0 and everyone else has 2 losses.

Great system.

I view this as literally the best thing about the new system.

I hate ND as much as the next guy, but if they're potentially the consensus best team in a season, but can't be higher than a 5-seed......just another broken system, lol.

But it sounds like that was their choice.

Notre Dame will strike up some deal with the Acc where they get the permanent auto-bid.

I think ND will find a way, I agree.  Two aspects of this new "System" is to ensure some non-P4 team gets in the playoff, and that ND is pressured to change.

As noted, we might expect ND to join the ACC in football only, fairly soon?  Perhaps if FSU et al. drop out?  Can you imagine the ACC if FSU and Clemson leave?

I think in most cases, the first round games will be fairly expensive for tickets through second parties, like $200-500 depending.  But imagine say Cincinnati is a host team, they would not play at home, they'd move the game to the Cincy NFL venue, same with Wake Forest and Duke and Georgia Tech and several others.

The weather situation could get interesting, we could see Miami (FL) playing AT Wisconsin, in December, or even worse, in ORLANDO.

Wisconsin's field is torn up now. They are replacing it with a heated field.
