Recruiting Football Talk VIII

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.
It's a truly asinine system. Your fellow PH D crowd invented it.

Good win. Syracuse not having their best player is a tough draw in a game like this but I'm not sure it eats up the entire difference in this game.

8-0. Top 3. Season is off to a great start... They look really good. The conf schedule is gonna be so good. Lots of huge games this year all over over the SEC.

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 seed
 
It should be OSU vs Bama round 1.
Maybe. But honestly, I'm not sure there's a better draw.. At ND or at PSU/Oregon or at UGA/Texas.... Give me the team that hates itself... That's not too say this is easy.. It's not.

But of all the 'evils', it may be the lesser of them all.🤷‍♂️
