Average point margin is meaningless when you're considering a team with a dogshit schedule.

Which is why there is a column and formula piece that notes strength of schedule.

You have the Fiesta and Peach bowls mis-assigned. #4 goes to Fiesta, #3 to Peach.
Just looked it up and you are right, did not realize that change from the old playoff system to the new.
SMU getting sent to the Peach Bowl to possibly play Alabama, Tennessee or Georgia is going to be about as bad a neutral game as they could ask for.

Well done George thank you.

Does the seed leader pick which site or is this auto assigned?

Auto assigned based on geography and historical bowl tie ins. That's a change from previous years where teams got to make requests.

Gotcha. I was wondering that. I thought it would make sense for the higher seed to pick based on either being indoors (my preference) , compared to being close to the school.

Average SP+ of Opponents tells a VERY interesting story. Only three teams in the top 25 have over a 10:
Georgia (10.9)
Alabama (10.1)
LSU (12.0)
In fact, the highest SP+ average for a non-SEC team is Louisville (7.0) and the highest non-SEC team with a presumptive CFP Seed is Ohio State (2.7).
That's absurd.

Not that it makes it any easier, but I'm fairly confident Peach won't have UGA or Tennessee.
They likely have Alabama in some pretty interesting match-ups:
1) Alabama is likely as the 11 seed irrespective of Big 12 Championship
(Big 12 winner has a more relevant tie-in to the Fiesta Bowl, via a 5/12 match-up that'd face Boise St as the #4 seed...which means I think UGA, if they win the SECCG, would take the 2 seed that Texas currently has)
2) And confident they'll play either ND or Penn St as the 6 seed
(ND if Penn St beats Oregon, as Oregon would be the 5 seed in this outcome, or Penn St if they lose to Oregon in the B1G CG, as ND would remain the 5 seed ).
3) Finally, if both UGA and Penn St win, I think Texas takes the 6 seed to play vs. 11-seed Alabama
(SMU gets dropped in the event they lose to Clemson, who'd take the 12 seed)
