I was out playing a number of casinos late afternoon and early evening, so I only saw bits and pieces of the final 2 college playoff games today. But that combined with the first two games this morning and last night, this current format has changes that need to be made. All 4 teams playing on their home field had a distinct advantage as you would expect. But it made for 3 of the 4 games pretty lopsided. (last nights ND game was lopsided, despite the score with those 2 meaningless late TD in the final 2 minutes).

And 3 of the 4 games were played in temperatures of 30 degrees or less. Is that the new college football weather? That is what is going to occur if you have playoff games being played in cold weather sites in late December. The NFL does it playing into February, but college football is supposed to be a "fall sport".

Now I have already talked about the need to change how teams are picked. You need to somehow pick the 12 best teams, rather than rewarding some teams that had a good season beating up on the lesser teams in a conference, where they missed playing the better teams.

I don't know if picking the 12 best teams, would have changed anything or not as far as how competitive this first weekend of games would have been. But it couldn't have been much worse. We watched 3 lopsided games and the one that was somewhat competitive was still a 14 point game.
