[QUOTE="Illini2010-11, post: 1827549, member: 748820"] That is correct. The four highest ranked conference champions get byes into the quarterfinal round, which is held at a bowl game. What is strange to me is the first round home games. It feels like that could be a gold mine of revenue for the home team. For example, if the new CFP format took place now, Alabama and Tennessee both would host a playoff game, despite not winning conference championship. Are these schools mandated to share revenue associated to those games? If not, then from a financial perspective, it could be argued that there is more of an incentive to finish ranked 5-8. [/QUOTE]
