with the price of tickets going sky high. think about the new playoffs starting next year. first you have the sec champ game. this past weekends game...lowest tiks i found were around $200. and then to think you would have to buy 2 more high priced games plus travel, hotel, time off from work, then throw in the fact that you have christmas in the middle. how long before you see a significant drop in attendance? with the pleasure of sitting in a comfy chair in front of big flat screens..will people go? will the people in charge be affected by a drop in attendance and decide the "old way" was better?

I think a lot of the top tier bowl games will be going the way of the Super Bowl soon enough where most of the tickets will be for boosters and sponsors and everyone else has to scramble for tickets or win them.

Soon enough, the first round games will be hosted by the higher seeded teams.

Why wouldn't you just watch it on TV?
