They aren't 3--they just win the ACC and are higher than UtahMiami at 3 is an all time joke.
Lets see...Miami at 3 is an all time joke.
Ohio State and Georgia don't win their conference in this scenario and can't be 3Lets see...
Their tough games are FL and FSU. It's possible but it is hard to believe they'd be ranked higher than tOSU and GA.
- FL
- FL A&M
- Ball State
- South Fl
- VT
- Cal
- Louisville
- FSU
- Duke
- GA Tech
- Wake Forest
- Syracuse
That's because OSU and GA wouldn't be conference champions based on his prediction so Miami is automatically seeded higher than them as the ACC champ. Which of course makes no sense whatsoever.Lets see...

It's kind of a Catch 22.That's because OSU and GA wouldn't be conference champions based on his prediction so Miami is automatically seeded higher than them as the ACC champ. Which of course makes no sense whatsoever.
I don't see why you can't have the conference champs automatically 'in' but just seeded by the committee. We need to see how it plays out. I think when the Big Ten and SEC start to lose out on home playoff games to lesser champs from the ACC and Big 12 we'll see a change.It's kind of a Catch 22.
If you 'slot' the system with defined conference outcomes receiving automatic seedings, it takes some of the subjectivity away from the selection and seeding process.
The NFL sometimes has wild card teams with better records than division champions, but the formula dictates who plays whom and where.
Subjectivity can be a double edged sword if those in the decision making process are agenda driven....
If anything it helps the Big/SEC get home games. 5-8 get home games. More SEC/BIG teams will be there cause the can’t be higherI don't see why you can't have the conference champs automatically 'in' but just seeded by the committee. We need to see how it plays out.

If we win win a playoff game and anyone complains its time to laugh at them and move on. That's a step forward...2 steps actuallyI can picture it now. We end up a 5/6 seed and get a similar path the first 2 rounds as OSU/UGA have here. Beat a 2/3 loss P5 team that had a weak schedule or the G5 qualifier in round one and a 2/3 loss Big 12 or ACC champ in round 2. Followed by a loss to the Big Ten or SEC Champ in the final four (I realize Georgia wins in the hypothetical posted). And Franklin Sucks posts will dominate the interweb.
If they win the conference, they have to be seeded, not necessarily ranked between 1 and 4, right?Miami at 3 is an all time joke.
CorrectIf they win the conference, they have to be seeded, not necessarily ranked between 1 and 4, right?
I'll take that scenario, a final four berth would mean Franklin actually won some big games against top 12 teams.I can picture it now. We end up a 5/6 seed and get a similar path the first 2 rounds as OSU/UGA have here.
