See, I think they want to avoid the rematch. So they don't get it out of the way in the first round. They put them on opposite sides, because basic odds favor at least one of them losing. And then, even if both win, they can say "Hey, they earned it. You can't complain."

I think they seed it so you get the best ticket sales.

For example if FSU is #1 they will play in the Sugar vs #4. They're not going to put Oregon at #4 and make them travel across country to play and then send MS and Bama across the country to play in the Rose. The fan bases wouldnt travel as well.
