re: This is why I hate a Committee making the decisions

The only "good" first round games have been Alabama vs Ohio State in 2014 and Georgia vs Oklahoma in 2017.

This is true. But maybe the games would not competitive because the wrong teams were chosen by the Committee.

I'm just saying.... If you made a rule that you had to win your Conference to get in, it would provide a lot more clarity and it eliminates the chance of bias coming into play. You could still allow for 3 at-large teams to make the Playoff.

Let's say the season plays out like Vegas would predict it to. Here's how the Playoff would look:

SEC Champ: Alabama
BIG 10 Champ: OHio State
BIG 12 Champ: Oklahoma
ACC Champ: Clemson
PAC 12 Champ: Oregon

Here's how the Playoff would look for Round 1 (home field advantage assigned to higher ranked team):

#8 Georgia at #1 Ohio State
#7 Penn St. at #2 Alabama
#6 LSU at #3 Clemson
#5 Oregon at #4 Oklahoma

That would be awesome. If you based the rankings/seeding on computer rankings, you could also through in a caveat that if a Group of 5 team makes the Top 12, they could get an at-large bid.
