If you manipulate the bracket to avoid 2 teams from the same conference playing in first 2 rounds. 

Key is the top 4 teams can't change.  #5 to #8 can be flipped but they must stay in #5 to #8 range so that they still get a first round home game. #9 to #12 can be flipped but must stay in #9 to #12 range so that they play on road in first round.

1.  Ohio St
2.  Ind
3.  Texas A&M
4.  Bama
The projection that they released is an "as of today" version but the reality is that CCG's are going to be played so Ohio State and Indiana are not going to both end up undefeated.  

I think a better assumption (and this still assumes a lot) is that the B1GCG and SECCG winners will be the 1/2 seeds while the losers will be the 3/4 seeds.  Ie, Ohio State and Indiana are NOT going to be the top two seeds.

why can't the top 4 teams be manipulated?
