Six reactions to the inaugural opening round of the College Football Playoff …
1. The first on-campus playoff games in college football history resulted in the following score: Home teams 145, visitors 68.
Average margin of victory: 19.3 points.
Four games over 28 hours and not a competitive fourth quarter among them. The in-stadium atmosphere was fantastic, but it was bad television. And bad television is bad for college football.
In fairness, lopsided playoff games are nothing new.
