Yes. And I would say that many fans are keeping their powder dry for a

potential national championship game. I think the suits that put this together thought that, say, 40k fans will show up from Big State U like they always do. But they didn't think that the people who show up year after year for bowl games aren't going to show up for three of them in one month. And it's not 40k different fans showing up each time.

Need to add play-in games among teams being considered for CFP, but not in
Maroon Baboon • 12/28/25 11:03 PM ET
I’m glad to see that others are sharing a similar vision
HokieAl • 12/29/25 09:27 AM ET
They can still do play-in games even if they don't junk the CCGs.
Maroon Baboon • 12/29/25 09:34 AM ET
