Mostly because I think the idea of ND hosting a first-round playoff game in the dead of winter most years is incredibly awesome.

*I know that they were already wavering on the 1st round games being on campuses, AND I know the entire plan is probably dead with the Big12 falling apart. But STILL. It would have been awesome for this season to end with us ranked like 5th and hosting Okie State or Ole Miss or something.
