Instead of giving LSU the easy path to the championship, they should've made LSU/Clemson the semifinal in Atlanta and let Ohio State play Oklahoma in the Fiesta. Maximum ticket value in the Peach, plus a guaranteed new conference in the final.
Why? To make it easier on Clemson? Give me a break. LSU deserved the #1 seed and Clemson was clearly the #3 seed. Clemson didn't deserve to get to play close to home.

And hey while we were at it, why not have the CFP pressure the ACC into allowing Notre Dame to play Florida in the Orange Bowl instead of sad-sack UVA? That would have boosted ratings too.

How does that help ratings for the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?
