it can be depending on who you draw. But that’s part of it I guess. It’s just a decent spot to be in if you don’t win your conference. It could end up being an easier path than a top seed. But again, all how it shakes out
Being the top 4 seed that plays the worst remaining team is the best. Not getting the bye will never be better than that.
You could get the 5 and play Boise and then the big 12 winner. Which yes it’s an extra game, but an easier path than drawing an Ohio state or Oregon after the bye. I’m just spit balling here. But that 5 seed path is kinda nice
If you are specifically talking about this year, there’s no way if we lose the ACC champ, we will be the 5. So we really need top 4.
Right the ACC team is never getting the 5 at large lmao no shot. I could see the ACC winner getting the 5 one year if there’s a really good group of 5 team
This is true. I didn’t look at it that way bc it doesn’t pertain to us. As I just said, the ACC is never getting the 5.
And another problem with this is that 5 would play 1 in the semifinals. So the two best teams could meet before the championship game.
Which means we would be the #2 seed.
I don’t understand this line of thinking unless you don’t watch any other games besides Miami. Is there 8 or 9 teams better than Miami? If so, who? Because everyone has holes in their resume right now.
I was thinking the same thing. I think the rankings will be each conference champ they predict today, then 5-12.
I think it will be the opposite, so we will all find out on Tuesday.
Ohio State will be ahead of UGA in my opinion.They have a better loss (close loss to Oregon vs close loss to Bama) AND arguably a similar win as UGA (win over PSU away vs win over Texas away).
