🏈 Question regarding playoffs

[bamafan4ever]

So, now that Jerry's world is hosting the Rose Bowl slot and will allow around 20k fans, does BAMA pick DFW or New Orleans, who is only allowing 3k fans? Doesn't #1 have the choice?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

That's my understanding.

No....#1. Does not pick....
They are selected by committee....
No team is to get home field advantage


i hope it's Texas... game starts at430 instead of 845

Bullshit! It happens every year! the #1 team is given travel considerations (I agree that the committee states that they don't do this, but show me 1 year that it hasn't occurred)

then its not bullshit... its what the committee does...
The #1 does not get "a pick"...

even though its gets favorable seeding...as it should

The committee chair stated that #1 seed gets the advantage of having more fans see them play. Therefore, we are going to Dallas.

The way the guy said, was that the No#1 team should play in front of the largest fans!

Bama will play Notre Dame in Dallas. It was my understanding #1 had the choice of where to play. Playing in front of 20k will be better than playing in front of 3k

Ok...and why does sugar only allow 3K. State of LA? No!
Lsu has 20%. Allowed ...... ???

 

[OldPlayer]

In the past years under the CFP, the #1 team was allowed to pick the location nearest to their campus to give their fans a better ability to attend.

This year, the CFP designated Dallas as the location for the #1 team so that more fans could attend (no fans were allowed for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and only 3500 for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans). The Dallas game (Rose/Cotton) is allowed 16,000 fans.

Bama loves Jerry World.

I read on the rant that Nick plans to allow the players to go home for Christmas... he is getting soft in his older years

He said that on ESPN's College Football Selection Program just a few minutes ago.

I believe it is the “Sugar Bowl committee” that possibly came to that decision or it is the Superdome people. Believe only 3k allowed for Saints games.

 

[RollllTide!]

New Orleans has canceled Mardi Gras for 2021 so they won't let football outshine that. JMO

It's the state. Sugar Bowl Committee or Superdome cannot overrule the government.

 

[colbyjacks]

When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home‐crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed.
