This is going to be interesting.
You are going to have Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Indiana(possibly Bama) in the playoff having last played in November. They will have an extra week of rest over at least one conference champion(probably us). Is rust going to be a factor for any of them?
Home games in rich environments. Texas, Penn St, Notre Dame and UT probably going to host.
Portal losses to playoff teams? Probably, forget that its likely.
The debate over SMU and Bama would normally have time to rage on but its going to be over in 3 hours. Which ever team gets in better not get skunked in their playoff game or its a narrative buster.
