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

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.
