College Football Fans Reveal What They're Excited About For 12-Team Playoff, And One Answer Should Be Obvious

College football fans are ready to embrace a new playoff era, and there's plenty to be optimistic about.

With the past season officially in the books and Michigan the final champion of the four-team field, fans are starting to look ahead for what comes next.

The playoff officially expands to 12 teams starting this upcoming season. That's great news as fans grew increasingly frustrated with the four-team format.

So, what are people most excited about? That was a question posed Thursday morning on Reddit, and the responses were great.

Naturally, there were plenty of answers that flooded in for what people are most excited about. Below are some of the best ones:

What's the correct answer to this question about the playoff expanding?

For me, there's one very obvious answer to what fans should be most amped about, and it's not simply the field expanding.

It's the fact there will be opening round games on college campuses. While neutral site games can certainly be fun, nothing on the planet beats an incredible night game on a home college campus.

Add in the fact teams from the SEC and other warm regions will have to travel to B1G country when it's zero degrees and snowing, and do I really need to sell this more to you?

Imagine Ole Miss traveling to Madison in December when it's freezing, sun is down, the lights are on, 85,000 insane Wisconsin fans are going crazy, the booze is flowing and the city is on fire. How can you put a price on an atmosphere like that?

Plus, playing in cold weather is a HUGE advantage for the home team that doesn't really exist in the current bowl system. The biggest bowl games are all played in warm weather areas.

Turn down the thermostat and some teams from the SEC might be in for a huge shock.

There's plenty to get excited about, but home games to get things started is going to be by far and away the best part, in my humble opinion. Let me know what you're most excited about at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
