I'm not arguing anything...I'm telling you lol ...they made this system not knowing the pac 12 was going to implode and Texas would jump. For the 3rd time, had all of that not happened Boise wouldn't of gotten a bye. If they made this system last year they would of done away with bye weeks for conference champions
Sighhhhh;
I really need to stop going back & forth on certain things, but u’re missing the point & I must stress this.
The CFP stated in 2022 that the Top 6 conference champions would get auto bids w/ the Top 4 ranked conference champions receiving byes, & 6 at large. Under ur scenario, that would’ve meant:
The PAC-12 would get an auto bid
The ACC would get an auto bid
The SEC would get an auto bid
The B1G would get an auto bid
The Big 12 would get an auto bid
The highest ranked G5 conference winner would get an auto bid
+ 6 at large bids primarily from w/in the P5. That was supposed to start or be implanted in 2025-6.
The PAC-12 imploded & the CFP decided to move up the timeline to the 2024-5 season. The ONLY adjustment was changing it from 6 auto bids to 5 since the PAC-12 imploded. Texas & OU announced their move to SEC BEFORE the CFP discussed expanding to 12.
So let’s go back to the P5, & let’s use ur example:
PAC-12: Oregon (#1)
SEC: UGA (#2)
B1G: OSU (#3)
Boise State (#4)
The ACC & The Big XII STILL would’ve been ranked outside the Top 4, brotha.
So who’s playing Oregon in Rd 1?
Teams 5-12
5. Iowa St???
6. UT
7. PSU
8. ND
9. Tenn
10. IU
11. SMU
12. Clemson
Winner of 8 ND v. 9 UTenn plays #1 Oregon
Winner of 5 Iowa St v. 12 Clemson plays #4 Boise State
Winner of #10 IU v. # 7 PSU plays #2 UGA
Winner of #11 SMU v. # 6 UT plays #3 OSU
This is STILL BULL ****.
In the AP ND ranked #3 & UTenn ranked #7.
So what are we talking about? That’s y I said ur point is moot, b/c regardless of the PAC-12 collapsing, the top 4 highest seeded conference champion would’ve had a bye. Boise would’ve received a bye regardless if the PAc-12 was still around. They just would’ve went from #3 to #4. A #1 team rewarded facing a top 7 team next round is complete & utter bull ****, period.
