CFP preference: Bye into the quarterfinals or a first-round home game?

[Jeff Howe]

Personally, I thought the Clemson game at DKR was one of the live experiences I've had in all of my years going to Texas games. Sign me up for more on-campus CFP games.

We learned last year that momentum heading into Round 2 provides advantages and that sitting out the first round might put you at a disadvantage. All of the teams with byes struggled last year, which makes sense—they were all off for at least a month and were rustier than the teams that played in Round 1.

Give me a bye this year!!!  With how much we have had to deal with injuries and how long this season has felt.  Getting that time off is going to be big for a final 3 game push.

I don’t care this year…just get in. 
 

Texas would be the only team to boast of being in the CFP every year it’s existed.

100% agree, just get in.  Once you’ve done that the mission is to win them all irrespective of where you play.

Getting in will make me happy. But I loved that home playoff game last year

After last year’s results, granted it’ll be seeded correctly this year, the BYE was every single team’s downfall. Give me the Home game 100% and build that BIG MO!

I loved going to the Clemson game last year. I think best for Texas would be to win out, miss the SEC championship game by tie breaker, and host a home game.
