If Dante is as good as 'reported' by Tez and others and looking at the 2025 schedule I see OBD again playing a 13th game in Indianapolis. A good thing? Maybe not for one more season with the current PO format. But I'll happily take bagging back-to-back B1G titles. In 2026 with a 14-team field, only two teams will bye and these two will likely open at home in the 2nd round. 16 teams of course would have every team playing in the 1st round at home and the 2nd round will also likely be a home game. LOL at the Cotton Bowl executive who argued in favor of bowls being playoff sites because "most of the people who attended the Penn State vs. SMU game in Happy Valley had to travel to the game."
