If anything like this ever did happen, I say the highest ranked team in the match-up should host it on campus. All this traveling to neutral sites is getting ridiculous financially. If Alabama takes care of business against washington, the fans would have traveled to Texas, Atlanta, Atlanta again (where other years it could be as far as Glendale or Pasedena), and Tampa. That's expensive and surely people are noticing that Bama is no longer packing out its games, not even the iron bowl or the SEC championship game. If you take four teams that didn't make their championship games a chance to make the playoffs, then the bottom two of those four should at least have to battle through a hostile environment to prove they deserve to be in the top 4. I think it's a creative idea. Not sure of the implications it would have on college football, but it's still outside-the-box thinking. It doesn't help Bama this year (and neither has any of the CFPs so far), but it might the next time we drop a 9-6 OT game to #1 LSU, but Okie State doesn't lose to Iowa State.
