the program that finishes 3rd isn't so interesting any longer with the playoff

Well, the fourth see won it in 2017.  Any team in the playoff has the potential to win out obviously.  The fifth seed gets a short straw.

yes, but after the seeding and the playoff, who cares who finishes 3rd?

Without any serious study or research, anecdotally, often at least one team that is at least a "knight" in college football's royalty that was preseason very high last year, but stumbled to a mediocre finish, will start off at a more rational top-20-ish position, and finish the year threatening for the playoff.

Because my team fits the first few criteria, I'm hoping it will fit the last. Because science.
