MIAMI GARDENS, FL – This is common sense stuff, everyone. If we can see it, they can, too.

Those who have built the College Football Playoff can surely understand they’ve asked Oregon fans to travel cross-country to Miami for the Orange Bowl quarterfinal, fly back to Oregon, and a week later fly cross-country again for the CFP semifinal in Atlanta if the Ducks advance.

Then fly back to Oregon, and 10 days later, fly back to Miami for the national championship game in Atlanta. Or approximately 15,000 miles over three weeks.

Or that No. 1 Indiana’s road is Los Angeles/Atlanta/Miami. Or No. 2 Ohio State’s road is Dallas/Phoenix/Miami.

What in blue blazes is going on here?
