Running CFB playoff thread

Reminds me of the glory days of Indiana basketball, I lived with band geeks and come tournament time, with the traveling band being a fraction of the home size, students would have to make a choice (based on seniority) of whether they wanted to go to the first/second-round site, the Regional or a potential Final Four. Do you take the sure trip or gamble on the Final Four? Made for some fun discussions. I imagine the blue-blood fan bases will face this a lot in the coming years.
