IMO, this is better than home-and-home series. Big venues, prime tv exposure, great for recruiting, more big-name teams to play, etc.

that is dumb

Big venues

Alabama and FSU both have a larger stadium that ATL

tv exposure

Bama-FSU would be a primetime matchup (esp 1st week of the season) regardless of where they played

more big-name teams to play,

could be done with a home and home

Nah. Visiting a college campus and tailgating there all day and taking in the atmosphere of an on campus stadium is far better than setting up in a parking lot and watching the game in a corporate venue.

No way dude. Tailgating on the quad (insert your schools equivalent) vs tailgating in the parking lot of a stadium on an interstate exit? Come on. These neutral site games blow

Better for who? Certainly not the loyal bread&butter season ticket holders ! These neutral site games are purely a money grab...nothing more !

Every once in a while OK....but year after year !!!!
