No matter the format, I'd like to see campus sites be used until the semifinals.

I would like to see a good, in depth analysis of home versus away win-loss percentage.

As there is some premature, preliminary debate on should Texas schedule the Ohio States or also rans, this would add another discussion point regarding such decisions.  That extra loss may cost you an invite to the party, but it certainly is likely to cost you a home game.  Actually it’s not the losing of a home game, but it’s giving you an away game rather than a neutral site game.

There are references made, but it’s minimally discussed. There are too many teams with them all having unbalanced schedules, playing too few games to be awarding significant advantages based those factors.
