Why is the 5th highest conference champion so penalized?

It should be that the 4 highest get byes and the 5th gets the 5 seed automatically and a home game against #12. As it stands now if BYU wins the Big 12 conference they would get a road game against the best non conference champ because of potentially one spot in the rankings?

It should be the four highest ranked that get byes regardless

Not all conferences are equal

No, I just have eyes and a brain. Winning the MWC is way easier than coming second in the SEC. They get a spot for sure

10:01am

Nah, they'd give it all to sec and b1g.

If they deserve them…good

You misunderstand, they'd give them to them even if they don't deserve them.

Boise doesn’t deserve one and is getting one soooo

One G6 deserves one every year at least.

A top 4 spot? No way

Sorry, I jumped thoughts. A 12 spot, yes, a top 4 with a bye, no. But I don't

This. The Big 12 CCG will be a better win than MWC CCG. Patience everyone.

Because they think that the 5th champion will be weak and want to give an easy

Also why is the 6th highest rated punished even more they don't make it.

The 5th champ is not penalized

A one loss BYU team gets a bye though right?

Because winning a crappy conference shouldn’t guarantee you the 5 seed.

7:59am

Yeah those teams are amazing! So cool!

I will give you oregon. What has Ohio state done? They beat penn state and no

cougarfann888

In all seriousness, one of those teams has a great argument for a bye

HRCougar

I think it’s more so that the top 4 are over compensated. I think they should

I'd still like to see 16 team playoff with all 9 conference champs getting

That encourages extremely small conferences we would have 15 conference within 5

There would obviously have to be limits and rules for new conference formation.
