So his bracket would be (ignore the bullets, they're just there to make the spacing work right)

• • 1. Texas 
• 8. Notre Dame
• 9. Alabama
  • 4. Boise St
• 5. Georgia 
• 12. Iowa St
  • 3. Miami
• 6. Penn St
• 11. Ole Miss
  • 2. Ohio St
• 7. Oregon
• 10. Tennessee 

With Clemson and LSU being top 12 teams who are bumped out by auto-bid conferences without a top team.

But there's really basically zero chance the Big 12 doesn't get at least one bid. That would require our champ being behind two G5/6 conference champs
