You’re discounting the fact that home fans will be a bit more fired up to go to the first ever home playoff game than a noon conference game. Granted, OSU is on shaky ground right now, but I have a hard time seeing us get 30k. 20k would be monumental30k in Death valley for a reg season game. >35000 for a playoff game I think
Wondering if students going home will affect the crowd size/performance as well? I think our numbers may be overestimated by some but maybe not.You’re discounting the fact that home fans will be a bit more fired up to go to the first ever home playoff game than a noon conference game.

That would mostly just impact freshmen. I know when I was in college, most sophomores and up lived off campus and would stick around for most of break. And we didn’t have anything like a playoff game to stick around for. I feel like if this game were at UT that UT students would still be there.Wondering if students going home will affect the crowd size/performance as well?

Maybe. A lot of kids probably going home for holidays though as well. A lot less will be there after the Michigan loss imo than would’ve been there if they had won that one. Jmo though. I imagine there will be plenty of crimson though.That would mostly just impact freshmen.
