[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2821750, member: 72863"] I don't know if one week vs two would make too much of a difference, but one thing I know people kind of forget about when talking playoff expansion and what not is the travel demands these games put on fan bases. The NFL plays every game in home stadiums except the Super Bowl, which is basically like a national holiday/social event that is as much about the non-football stuff as it is the game. It's just a different dynamic in college football, you've got very loyal fan bases but so much fewer numbers. Take TCUs fan base for instance and imagine if we went to an 8-team playoff (hell, imagine if we made it to the Championship game in the current format), how could we possibly draw that many fans for 2 or 3 of these extra games that cost a boatload to attend? Back to the original point, that extra week probably helps those schools fans arrange for how to get to the games. It's not that easy to just plan another big trip on a weeks notice. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
