What does a neutral site game do for national exposure? I get it if they were crappy teams, but a game like USC/Bama is going to have the same national exposure either way.


Sure USC/Bama is going to be maybe the biggest game kicking off the 2016 season. You don't think kicking off the season with a win over USC helps get voters attentions? It is a marquee match-up.

My point was these neutral site games are going going to increase in importance in the play-off era and other less "marquee" names than Bama or USC or going to need to step-up and get into them to help them in the polling and selection process.

I guess you need to play those type of games when you are finishing second, or third, in the West. You can try and beg your way into the playoff by saying "we played a decent team on a neutral site". It may work.
