2023 12-team playoff, with 2024 alignment (so yes, a wonky preview):
1 Michigan (B1G Champ) vs winner of 9 Ohio State @ 8 Georgia
4 Arizona (XII Champ) vs winner of 12 Penn State @ 5 Liberty (HS Champs)
3 FSU (ACC Champ) vs winner of 11 Missouri @ 6 Warshington
2 Texas (SEC Champ) vs winner of 10 Oregon @ 7 Alabama
.
5 Big Ten Teams
4 SEC Teams
1 ACC
1 XII
1 Biberty
.
Under this model, the #2 team in the country is the 6 seed. Yeah, they'd have played UM, but you're still going to wind up with wonky seedings like that.
