I think too many rounds of playoffs at bowl sites would doom a playoff plan, personally. I have it so that teh first two rounds are at home, the national semis are at one location and the national championship game is at another. This would make it more realistic for fans to travel, as it is less travel than an NCAA tournament basketball package (3 rounds, 3 locations potentially). This plan would not have an unsold ticket – ever.
All rounds must be played at neutral sites to have the same advantage; therefore all games are bowl games and the championship rotates every year.
Thanks for the comment Marty, but there should be an advantage for the better teams. That’s what keeps the regular season so important, knowing that home field through round one and two is huge.
Besides, the logistics of travel and setting up those bowl games would make it impossible to play playoff games at bowl sites. The system described here is the only perfect system out there.

have the round one be at the higher seeds home field and then for the next round have the quarter finals in the sugar fiesta cotton and outback bowls and save the rose and orange for the semis and then the national championship can rotate every year.
