There is always a "chance" some lower ranked team wins the playoff, it's just quite low.  Obviously, it's much tougher now with more levels.  TCU got to the NC with an upset and was one upset away.  If they played UGA 100 times, do they win ten?
Well clearly the "top 4" didn't even make it to the semifinals in the inaugural 12-team year...

How can someone like Elko claim that only "4 or 5" teams can potentially win it, when the #7 and #8 seeds met in the NCG the first time around?

I mean, even if you assume the #3 and #4 teams were paper tigers over-seeded due to winning their conferences, that would mean that it was the 5th and 6th best teams that ended up in the NCG...
