It's a truly asinine system. Your fellow PH D crowd invented it.To support my argument, take 2022:
Final ranking - 1. Georgia(aq), 2. Michigan(aq), 3. TCU(aq), 4. Ohio State, 5. Alabama, 6. Tennessee, 7. Clemson(aq), 8. Utah(aq)***, 9. K State, 10. So Cal ***, 11. Penn State, 12. Washington***
*** denotes a Pac12 team.
So Utah is #8 and wins the Pac12 title game and they're rewarded by becoming the 12-seed dropping below USC and Washington and forced to play at Ohio State.
Now 2023 (even worse):
1. Michigan(aq), 2. Washington(aq), 3. Texas(aq), 4. Alabama(aq), 5. Florida State(aq)***, 6. Georgia, 7. Ohio State, 8. Oregon, 9. Mizzou, 10. Penn State, 11. Ole Miss, 12. Oklahoma.
Florida State is the 5th highest ranked conference champion so they get automatically assigned the 12-seed. They're #5 and undefeated. They are rewarded by going TO ATHENS to play #6 Georgia.
Okay I'll shut up.
The 5th highest ranked conference winner doesn’t automatically get the 12th seed. If they’re ranked 12 or lower they do. Let’s say Arizona State jumps bama and is the 11 ranked team, they will be the 11 seed bama 12th seedTo support my argument, take 2022:
