Shouldn't be but I bet you're right and they end up the only team that truly gets punished for losing a conference championship game. Pathetic double standards are already showing up big in the inaugural 12 team playoff.....my question is if Clemson actually gets a bye for being that trash conference champion. UGA, Oregon, G5 and Big 12 winners are more deserving than Dabo's Pathetic team that hasn't beaten anyone. T(A)OSU, Pedo State, Indiana, Clemson and SMU should be seeded 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 with Bama, Ole Miss and USCe on the outside looking in. ND should be 7th since they play a whack-ass split, handpicked schedule. Total joke.
