I think most folks on here might be making a mistake thinking that Ohio State won’t fall to number 9 or 10 or so. That was a horrific loss today. Horrific. And this committee has dropped every single team with a loss to lower ranked team with a minimum of six spots. I think they drop them seven spots- or more.

They didn’t lose to a playoff contender today. They lost to a team ranked number 50. A 20 point underdog. At home. Let that sink in for a minute.

Just remember that the chairman of the Committee is the Michigan Athletic Director. He called Indianas win over Michigan a “great win”.

I have no knowledge as to how the CFP/host schools will price the first round games, but I expect a face value of $250-$300 per ticket, at minimum.

I was referring more to the secondary market when I said a mortgage payment.

The get in price for the first round games last year were roughly $700 for one game and $1000 for another

With the increased interest and some schools potentially going for the first time-I would expect a huge jump in those prices.

Does anyone know how the ticket proceeds are split up for the CFP games?

I’m with you. If it’s $300 per ticket face value for the first round games, I’d expect a minimum of $1,000 on the secondary market just to get in the door. Much like the Final Four - even the worst seats go for $1,500+ on the SM.

Just looked up face value for last year’s CFP championship game and it was $800 lower level, $450 upper level.

Ultimately we have to pass OSU to host. Which I don’t see the committee jumping us over them. Think we should but don’t see it.

I don’t see us jumping Georgia if they lose the SEC either. Don’t see how you can punish Georgia for making the championship game. Especially when they beat us

Pulled this below from a NYTimes article on Penn State playoff ticket communication to season ticket holders. Read in a few articles the face value from $100 - $250 set by CFP but I don't know if host schools can flex on pricing. I would doubt it but don't know. If we host, secondary market should be very expensive.

"The rollout of ticketing procedures is one of many steps for all potential host sites in the first year of the 12-team Playoff. The CFP released an 87-page manual to schools in August to prepare for hosting a game that will either fall on Friday, Dec. 20, or Saturday, Dec. 21. The determination of which game is played Friday night versus who plays in the first-round triple-header on Saturday will be made by television.

Ticket prices for the first-round games held on college campuses were set by the CFP. Pricing is unified across the country, with different price points for seats along the lower bowl sideline, lower bowl end zones, upper bowl, suites and student section, among others. General seating prices — not including clubs and suites — will range from $100 to $250. The deadline for season ticket holders to reserve seats for a potential Playoff game is 11:59 p.m. ET Friday, Nov. 22.

The four first-round byes in the Playoff are reserved for the highest-ranked conference champions. First-round home games go to the next four highest-ranked teams. In the latest CFP rankings revealed Tuesday, sixth-seeded Penn State would be hosting No. 11 Ole Miss. Though Penn State won’t know for sure whether it’s hosting until Dec. 8 when the bracket is released, the university has long prepared for the possibility. Last spring, Penn State moved winter graduation from Dec. 21 to the following Sunday. Attempting to host a Playoff game in Beaver Stadium while holding graduation across the parking lot in the Bryce Jordan Center was not possible.

How exactly will College Football Playoff home games work?

Student tickets are not available yet, but Penn State does plan to have the same number of student tickets available (21,000) as offered during the regular season, deputy athletic director Vinnie James said in an interview with The Athletic.

Penn State athletics has worked with the student government to determine how to best handle the ticket process for students. This procedure will be communicated to students in the coming weeks. Student tickets cost $25.

I don't think the committee will drop a team out of the playoffs for losing a conference title but there's no chance you lose a game and it not affect your seed line. Georgia is right on the line. I think they either get a bye with a win or travel with a loss.

I hope you’re right. But I just don’t see them punishing them for that
