Gives a team a bit more incentive to qualify in 1st place example would dublin try harder now against tyrone if they knew a defeat means they have to travel up to ballybofey/castlebar or go down to killarney same with tyrone would tyrone try harder if they knew a win means they dont have to potentially go down to killaney or face a pumped up mayo crowd on a warm saturday afternoon

Not the worst idea in the world but also not a snowballs chance in hell of them taking the AI semi finals out of croker, especially if as is being reported the croker round of the super8 is being scrapped for a neutral round.
And honestly it only really matters for the group that Dublin aren't in and in the two years so far that group has been all to play for on the final day afaik. All the other potential teams who would be looking to make a semi final over the next 3/4 years would all fancy beating each other on their day in Croker. Very little between them I think. Dublin wouldn't care and would probably love every opportunity they can get to play big games away to prove the doubters wrong.
One team is always guaranteed a home draw for the semi final, final too come to that.
