GAME CFP ROSE BOWL: #1 OREGON DUCKS vs #8 Ohio State Buckeyes

I'd have been fine with that.

The more teams you add the more the shift is from best season to who is playing better now. Neither is "right". Just different ways of handing out a trophy.

I've laid out why I'm not fond of more, but I have no interest in trying to talk anyone else out of different views.

If anyone else likes 12 or wants more I've got no problem with it.
Could do Both.

AP / Coaches could go back to the days when they crowned a National Champion prior to the Bowl Games for the Regular Season. AP and Coaches Regular Season National Champion = Oregon. Like a Supporter's Shield in Soccer.

Then, the Post Season Tourament Trophy would be a separate thing. CFP Tournament Champion = Notre Dame, Texas, Penn State or Ohio State.

Best of both worlds, as they truly are two different things.
 
That, and the #12 was fourth highest.

So, the CFPC #9 and #12 got first round byes.
That's just setting it up for lower seeds to advance. Penn State hit the gravy train with the bracket.

One other little gem

They had Alabama ranked higher than Ari. St.
So Ari. St gets a first round bye and Alabama got to go pound sand.

Probably for the best considering how atrocious Bama was this year.
