I hoping, no I'm PRAYING, the new 12 team playoffs will allow the first round in home stadiums...time for these SEC wacko's to head up north in January! Sec is spoiled by always playing in the heat and in domes. Time for some road trips up north, and even this thing out!

Ask that POS Nick Satan, er uh, Saban about playing up north in the winter...it's a BITCH, trust me.

The reason bowls aren't played in northern climes is that nobody really wants to go to places with crappy weather to watch games.

The problem with your suggestion is that the SEC teams that generally will have to head up north to a game will be the ones barely getting in, not the ones who actually will compete for the title.

If you look at last year, the teams hosting first round games would be UGA (vs Pitt), ND (vs Utah), OSU (vs Michigan State) and Ole Miss (vs OkSU). No warm weather teams at all going north last year.
