My brother and I were kicking around the idea of going to the conference championship game if Nebraska is fortunate enough to make it there. Then I thought, if we win the big ten, there's a sliver of a chance we'll make it to the playoffs. And I absolutely want to go to the playoffs
When I brought this idea up to my brother, in his mind we are a lot more likely to lose and not make the playoffs so we shouldn't hold out for the playoffs and just go to the conference championship game.
We also kind of had this scenario in 2012 when we thought that we were a sure shot for the rose bowl. We did end up going to the conference championship game that year. In hind sight I'm sure I enjoyed going to Indy and losing more than I would have the cap one bowl regardless of the outcome.
I know some of us are willing to "make a trip" to one post season game, but would you rather attend the conference championship or take a risk for the game after that being a top level game or an afternoon Jan 1 game? So what have you guys done in the past?
I hope I'm right in assuming most people who would go to the ccg aren't also going to the bowl and vice versa. Nobody's made of money so you have to pick one. Or don't go to either but that's no fun.
