For example, why were we the home team last game? Coin flip?

They said coin flip on the broadcast.

Well, on the ND/Illinois broadcast. I didn't catch if that was because it was in IL's stadium or if that's how they do all of them.
But they just said...

Wright State is home vs IL tomorrow OR ND is away vs IL.

This makes no sense, unless they already flipped coins in advance.

This was on the ESPN broadcast.
it is coin flip to start - then it goes on precedence

we were home against wright the first time we played so they get home the 2nd time. we were home against illinois the first time we played them so they would be home the 2nd time. wright has not played illinois yet so they have to pick who gets home first and who gets it last. evidently wright got first home. should they win, illinois will have home 2nd.
Bottom team on the bracket likely *
