“Question: Isn’t there an unintended consequence of the current setup of the 12 team playoff format starting next year? With the new big ten and sec 14 of the 18 true national championship contending programs are in the sec or big ten. Surely most title contenders would prefer the path to a title from the 5 seed than the 1 seed in the new format. The 5 seed would have the path to the semi of 12 seed G5 (Liberty) at home and big 12 champ (Utah/Kansas st) neutral site, where as the 1 seed has to play a presumably bigger title favorite at large in the quarterfinals like OSU/Texas/Oregon. Wouldn’t this incentive 2 undefeated in the sec or big ten title to lose on purpose because one would be the 1 seed and 1 the 5 seed that would meet in the semi final anyway? It’s crazy that a 5 seed would be preferable to a 1 seed. Love the show thanks”
