I agree with all of that as far as seeding and giving the best teams the best opportunity to play in the final, but........ it just goes back to ranking and seeding teams with the fewest losses
I really don't have a problem with that and I assume this is how it will work out if we go to 8 teams
I'd like to have more fun with the matchups and penalize teams for not winning their conference
the top 4 conference champs are #1-#4
Undefeated LSU #1, undefeated Ohio St. #2, 1-loss Oklahoma #3, 1 or 2 loss North Carolina and Mack Brown #4
Bama #5, undefeated UCF #6, 1 loss Wisconsin #7, and PAC champ with 3 losses #8
LSU gets an easier path, Bama gets an easier path anyway. Being a 5 seed isn't a bad thing here.
we could assume the committee might drop undefeated UCF behind Wisconsin to avoid a rematch or conference mates meeting in the first round
