FWIW, they changed this rule in the by-laws. Last year, had to be Conf Champ to be in Top4.

That rule was flawed. Showed that the Conf Champs often didn't deserve to be Top4.

You want another crazy rule? Look at the Conference Tie-breakers. ACC tie-breaker rules are awful. Canes got shut out b/c of bad ACC rules. 5-loss Duke in that game ahead of MiaFL.

I have to agree with Stormytrooper... Unless there is some kind of major blowout both Ind/Ohio St get byes.

CFB playoff committee:
  • Hunter Yurachek (Arkansas AD) - CHAIR
  • Chris Ault (Coach Nevada)
  • Troy Dannen (Nebraska AD)
  • Mark Dantonio (Former head coach Cincy and Mich St.)
  • Mark Harlan (AD Utah)
  • Jeff Long (AD Kansas, Ark, Pitt)
  • Ivan Maisel (Sports writer)
  • Chris Massaro (AD Middle Tenn St.)
  • Mike Riley (Coach - Mainly at Oregon and Nebraska)
  • David Saylor (AD Miami-OH)
  • Wesley Walls (Former player at Ole Miss)
  • Carla Williams (AD Virginia)
I know former affliations are not supposed to effect their choices but, we all know it does.

SEC - 2.5 (Jeff Long split SEC/B12)
Big 10 - 2.5 (Dantonio split B10/B12)
BIG12 - 2
ACC - 1
Others - 4

I don't think that's why they're both gonna get byes

They're a consensus 1 and 2 and can't see losing to a 13-0 Big Ten champ on a neutral field hurting them

It's more likely they stay at 1 and 2 then one of them misses out on a bye
