Ohio State AD Gene Smith said he is now in favor of hosting a CFP game in the Horseshoe instead of moving it to a dome in Indianapolis.

He said a playoff game at Ohio Stadium would need to be played on the weekend “because of the pressure it would put on our campus,” he said. “Parking. We're still in school, so that's an operational nightmare for that magnitude of a game.

“We've got a lot of people who have to work the next day. I just think that's hard. I think we could pull off a Friday, and if push came to shove, we could probably pull off a Thursday. But that would be really hard on our campus. Students go to class. There are night classes.” There is one reason Smith hopes the Buckeyes don't play host to a playoff game at the Horseshoe. That would mean the Buckeyes didn't finish in the top four of the CFP rankings.Get more Ohio State football news by listening to our podcasts
