Apparently neither school sold their allotment of 15,000 in addition to weak demand from general sales. Upper deck in Indy is mostly empty and appears to be thousand empty in lower as well.

Can't blame Wisconsin, they played in it last year. It's not as bad as Stanford who couldn't fill half of their stadium for the PAC 12 championship.

Same thing last night for the Pac-12.  Barely 30,000 in a stadium that seats over 50,000.

Methinks people are beginning to see what a sham this whole corrupt system is.

We need a real playoff with 16 teams.  Each FBS conference champion gets in and then the field is rounded out with the highest ranking teams left.   The planned four-team playoff system with a selection committee should never see the light of day.  Just one man's opinion.

The Stanford game kicked off at 5PM local time on a workday.

I'm in 100% agreement as well.  While this would be the logical and fair thing to do, that also would be the most compelling across the country as a whole, we all know it won't happen.  The greedy dirt bags from the "BCS" conferences along with ESPN don't want Ohio, Kent, Boise, and other peer conferences in the mix.  They're slime balls of epic proportions that are single handedly ruining college sports nationwide.

I've reached the point where I'm about to quit watching any college football that isn't associated with Ohio University, or UC (my dad's alma mater).  The corruption that has led to all this senseless realignment and ridiculous bowl system has really turned me off.
