And they say fans won’t travel to the games

According to this St. Pete Times story, even big time UF donors can’t get tickets to the national championship game. “There are people who have been ticket holders for 30 to 35 years who didn’t get tickets,” said UF ticket manager Bill Holloway.

Now, isn’t “fans won’t travel to the games” one of the big arguments against a playoff system? I get the feeling that UF fans would travel to more than one playoff game. I’m also sure that most of the big time programs would gladly travel with their team. The smaller schools might have trouble filling seats, but what are the chances a smaller school will play a smaller school in a playoff game?
