Agreed. Giving the top 2 teams a bye week would put them at an extreme advantage. Then you start hearing complaints about who gets ranked 3rd instead of 2nd.

FSU complained about getting dropped this year, but it wasn't terrible because as long as you're in the top 4, it's all pretty much the same aside from matchups. If you get dropped to three under a format with byes, you're looking at a much, much tougher road.
