Rematches in the playoffs: Should they be forced to play in 1st round?

When 2 teams who have already played each other both reach the playoffs, would you rather
A) they be forced to play each other right away, so there is no rematch in Championship game, or
B) both face new competition in the hopes that one or both teams lose, but with the possiblity of a Championship rematch?

What happens if both 1 and 2 have played 4? Stick to the normal seeding? Or, what if 1 has played 3 and 4? Would it be fair to put no. 1 vs. no. 2 to avoid a rematch?

what happens if it's like this year and the 3 best teams are Arky, Bama, and LSU?

Neither. If the two respective teams are 1/4 or 2/3, they play in the semis. If not, they don't. Don't "force" it either way.

Don't really care on this one.

While I think rematches would suck, what would suck worse is making an undefeated #1 seed have to play a #2 or #3 just to avoid a rematch with a #4 they've already beaten. Especially if #4 has 2 losses and the team #1 winds up playing is undefeated. A rematch would suck, but there has to be an advantage to being the #1 seed. And that should be to play the most seemingly inferior of the 4 teams. Even if you've already played them.
It's kind of how I felt about the BCSNG this year. As an LSU fan, I think it totally sucked cock to have to play an Alabama team we'd already beaten on the road. As a CFB fan, I think it would have probably sucked worse overall to put in an Oklahoma State team who lost to Iowa State and who appeared to clearly be inferior to Bama, just to avoid a rematch.

Depends on their seeds doesn't it? I could see some flexibility if they were 2,3,4 seeds... but not if they were 1/2 or 3/4
