    I like the idea of the higher seed hosting for the first 3 rounds. I would love (and please don't take this as me hating on the SEC) some warmer climate schools have to come to Columbus and play a playoff game. The weather today in Columbus is a warm 27 degrees with wind.

    Also let me ask you LSU fans I know you killed Vtech but when you knew they were coming to visit did the game have something extra in the air? I know you guys and gals are always pumped for you home games but playing a Major conference team that is pretty good make it more exciting. I know when we played Texas a few years it waited for that game for a few years. And knowing we have USC,Oklahoma,Vtech,Miami coming up in the next few years makes them games that mych more fun.

    Didn't W Kentucky become the 120th team this season?

    I don't think any proposal to significantly alter conference structures is realistic enough to consider. There is no need to force Notre Dame to join a conference or to either eliminate/add a conference championship game. These things can be realistically worked around.

    I am firmly of the belief that the regular season presents enough data to eliminate most teams. I do find your third team from a conference rule interesting, though I try to promote diversity in a playoff for a variety of reasons.

    Hey Buckeye Pup,

    That's one of my favorite aspects of the Wetzel plan, too. To see if the warm-climate schools could hack it in the frost. I'm not so sure.

    I didn't go to the VTech @ LSU game, but I'm sure it was dynamite. If you ever get the chance to visit Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night, please do so. There is nothing like it.

    And I'm glad the Buckeyes are scheduling tougher nonconference games in the coming years. I knew about the home-and-home w/USC in '08 and '09. When are y'all playing Oklahoma, Miami, and VTech?
