The conference champ has to mean something.

No one complains in the NFL that the division champ gets a home playoff game even if the wildcard team has a better record. I like it. If you can’t win the SEC or Big 10 you don’t deserve a first round bye and it’s unfair to the teams that won those leagues. If it didn’t matter, Oregon could have just sat everyone for the Big 10 champ knowing they would have gotten a first round bye anyway

Klatt is a P2 homer and sad that the conference champions get too much reward

I'll be rooting for ASU but it's really dumb they have the 4 seed and a bye when

I like it. Reward teams who actually win their conference, regardless of rank

I just hope it doesn’t change to something like the 4 highest ranked teams

Go to 16 teams, no byes.

Do it like the old BCS. 4 highest ranked conference champs (with caveat requiring them to be Top 10)

Would you like the 32 conference champs to have the 1 to 8 seeds in all 4

The NFL comparison is dumb. They play the same quality of opponents.

Dec 10, 9:05am

And it does mean something. A bid.

Seems like winning your conference should mean something. The conferences don't

Real hard to say the SEC is better than the MW....

It helps bias and reputation from being a deciding factor. Reward conf champs.

Giving conference champions automatic byes is not always deserving.

This is certainly a better approach.

The problem is what it does to the rest of the bracket

A tougher path... and a bye

Yep. I'm not sure how people aren't seeing this. It's totally inequitable.

Dec 10, 9:08am

How can you expect to compete for a natty if you can't even win your conf?

They get you in the tournament. Pretty important.

I thought he was a CU homer. Or so the internet tells me.
