That was stated as an explicit purpose and upside of the expanded playoff in terms of college football reclaiming NYD. You seem to be entrenched in a position that college football leaders will refuse to schedule weeknight semifinal games, but the indications are that the powers that be simply don’t care compared to getting playoff games onto NYD every year.

We will see. I didn’t see anywhere where this was implied though aside from posters here. The last ESPN update stated, “devil was in the details” in terms of when and where the games will be scheduled. P5 will appear to have a Bowl or site locked in for bye champs. That’s all we can safely assume (not yet confirmed). When the Rose can’t host a QF at least 1 week prior to the Saturday SFs, I’m thinking the B1G/PAC sub Pasadena for Santa Clara Lucas Oil, or a similar locale, and I’m willing to be big on it (a rebranded bowl or two to go with that, although Fiesta is an option).
