Road teams get something like 3,500 tickets.  Can’t imagine those will be easy to get hands on unless you know someone. You can look on re-sale sites for other schools already, but I’m not thinking those prices are accurate at this point, for better or worse. For example, if we play at ND I’m guessing current prices would just about triple and they’re already around $400 to get in. 

That’s kind of what I figured. UGA would be closest to me, but A) prices will probably be outrageous and B) that’s the matchup I most fear potentially being blown out in.

You’re right on A and I agree about B. UGA is sitting around $600 per to get in right now. Highest I’ve seen by a couple hundred bucks.

Guy down the street from me put a big OSU flag on his truck after OSU beat us. After OSU lost to Michigan, he took it off. lol

Go buy a Michigan flag and plant it in his yard

Even better, he'll have no choice but to just light the entire truck on fire.

Someone may have already covered this but I looked and couldn't find it. So the 4 losers in the first round of the CFP are done, they are not eligible for a Bowl game? I suppose the playoff game is their Bowl game even though it is not officially a Bowl and they may have to play it on someone else's home field. I get that this is a real honor to play in the CFP with a chance to win a National Championship, but the 4 losers in the first round kind of miss out on the Bowl experience and I wonder if in the long run they lose money?

Nah man, the "Bowl experience" will be considered playing in the NIT.  This is a good thing. A CFP participant is much much more coveted. Way way way more important than playing the Citrus or whichever else. Recruits know this too.

I think you're right, but winning that first game would be sweet!

Most likely the opposite. Schools lose a CRAP ton (think millions with an S) of money going to play in a bowl game whereas CFP teams are getting paid to be there.

Penn State isn’t close to anything. Been there, done that, and I’m dreading that being the draw. Other than that, two easy drives (ND, OSU) or easy flights (UGA, Texas) seem to be the possibilities. 

I’m a 2.5hr drive to Penn State. :)

10.5hr to Georgia. Not doing too much research at this point. Waiting it out. 

[Brass Cannon 24,494]

Feeling like we end up playing Tenn.  Texas and SMU win.  We end up as essentially the 9th seed with the 8th ranking because Boise jumps us.

Rumor has it that's as close as you can get to Penn State without being a student or being considered "hill people".

3 guys spread out over 3 all-conference teams from a top-5 offense in the country. Alrighty then.

All unanimous

We should have a slew of Honorable Mentions

I think so too..Ellison, Lawton, Smith, Evans on offense. Carpenter and Ferrell on Defense. 

I could be wrong, but of our 6 All-B1G selections 4 could come back next year. Sarratt, Fisher, and Ponds. Kamara I think goes pro but could come back. Kurtis, Katic, potentially Kamara and others are big losses. But, there will be some talent coming back! If I'm a Portal QB, having Sarratt and Cooper back will be huge. Will probably have around 5 starters on each side of the ball back..not bad.

Congrats to 1st teamers
Mikail Kamara
Aiden Fisher
