top 4 conference champs get byes.

the other 2 conf champs (I guess 1 now, RIP Pac12) are seeded with the 6 at large teams, and they play on campus games

ETA: 7 at large*

That is the debate. SEC and B1G want just top 12 teams, top 4 get byes, 5-8 get home games. ACC, Big 12 and G5 want top 5 conference champs get in and top 4 conference champs get byes.

A 12-team field would consist of the six highest rated conference champions and the six highest-rated at-large teams. The format would feature a first-round bye for the top four seeds and the first-round games to be held on campus. The top four seeds would be the four highest rated conference champions.


Here’s an idea of what it would have looked like last year:



Obviously this is the structure before realignment.

I would love to see call outs. 5th place team gets to call out opponent. And next highest left team calls out. Could have a TV show. Some smack talk. Then asking why they called that team out. And hearing from called out team.

Unless something changed, it is the top 5 ranked teams that won their conference get in, with the next 7 highest ranked teams after that.

Top 4 ranked conference champions get byes.

Whatever they decide will be better than the old way of 4 slots for 5 conferences.

Looking forward to seeing 5-12 get annihilated every year.
