The top 4 ranked conference champs get the 4 top seeds. The next highest ranked conference champ will sneak in at 12.I'm getting confused about the potential bye teams. If Clemson wins I initially thought they get the bye but now I think some of you are saying that only happens if Boise loses. If Boise wins then the Big 12 champ, not Clemson gets the 4th bye leaving Clemson as basically an at-large team. Is that correct?
SMU wins and Boise wins.....SMU 3, Boise 4
Boise wins and SMU loses.....Boise 3, Big 12 4th, Clemson 12
SMU loses and Boise loses.....Big 12 3rd, Clemson 4th, UNLV 12.
All assuming Big 10 and SEC are 1st and 2nd regardless of game outcomes.
Notre Dame is stuck at 5th since they can claim no conference title.
