I assume the advantage you are referring to is the bye? To get the bye they have to win a conference champ game which teams like Ohio State who at 11-1 is in as a wild card without question in a 12 team format do not have to play. By the time you get to a final 8. Using this year as an example, Georgia and Michigan will have played the same # of games as Ohio St and Alabama.
