Things that stood out to me.

So the one auto select for non bcs conference is Cincy.

4 SEC teams, 1 in playoff, 3 at large.
1 ACC team in playoff
2 PAC teams 1 in playoff
2 B1G teams 1 in playoff
2 big12 teams 1 in playoff
And of course at large auto non bcs Cincy

No Stanford

Oregon in Sugar instead of Rose. I think if they get a West Coast team in this they will put them in Pasadena. I think that will be taken into consideration. The committee is unpredictable of course, but I think regional draw will be taken Into effect as well as avoiding rematches.

I think it is unlikely they would give a 4 seed such a blatant de-facto Home Field Advantage over the 1, unless it was a BigTen/Pac-12 matchup

I think the seeding will be made according to region to be honest. The one seed would get the best destination scenario, the 2 the next as long as it doesn't co exist with the 1.

The 3 and 4 would be seeded based off of region.

Remember, this is a guessing game As to who is actually the best seed 1-4. The data likely just won't be there to give us an accurate predictor.

If Oregon and Oky were 3 and 4, I can bet that they put Oregon in Rose and Oky in Sugar. Considering all things are equal which most likely they will be. Unless one is undefeated and the other had a loss.

If that was the determination, then I wouldn't be surprised to see the "true" #1 seed moved to the 2 line to avoid traveling 2200 miles.

People are moved off their line for geographic reasons all the time in basketball. This will be no different.

why would the Sugar not have Alabama and why would the Rose not have Oregon.
that's just retarded
of course the selection committee sets it up better than that.

Ducks with 4 regular season losses is a big extreme...but I have great confidence in your UO-UW winner.

That wouldn't be UW but WSU.. I think you guys will get by UW but not WSU, they almost beat Oregon's nemesis last year,Auburn in their house and would love nothing better than laying huge dildoe on Oregon's padre
