After Saturdays awesome atmosphere, would you rather have a playoff home game or a bye?

Realistically, I see ND final ranking from 5-7 by the committee, rather than top 4. Personally, I would love a playoff home game against the likes of BSU or Iowa or TTU, rather than a bye.

BYE RISK: CFP teams with a bye have struggled with a 1-7 overall record.

HOME RISK: Team falls flat and is upset or a costly injury.

Agree there is little chance of a bye. But you always want the highest seed.

And if Carr gets hurt in a first round game you can kiss the NC goodbye.
Why beat up the team with an additional game?
The 1-7 upset record speaks as much to the half assed CFP seeding.
I’d also rather see ND fans save their money to
attend bowl games and The Championship.
Not everybody has unlimited funds.

I’ll take the bye. Can’t lose a game you don’t have to play, plus we got a lot of injuries

Get those guys healed up and come out swinging in round 2
just my 2 cents
