that's just nonsense. 1 of the 4 seeds was the #1 seed until they were upset in the final of game of the regular season. They were a 4 seed only because they did not win their conference. The other 4 seed was the first year and of the 4 teams, they had the worst loss of the 3 teams with a loss. The one undefeated team that year was the 3 and got boat raced. Overall the seeding has been fine.
The other #4 was the first year and jumped two teams with 1 loss the last week of the season. Baylor and TCU had a great case as well.
The #4 team was #5 going into the last week and moved up without having to play another game while the team that fell was in until the conference championship game. It was horseshite.
Those #4s winning prove that the margin isn't nearly as wide as people are acting. This year is the anomaly, not the norm.

I 100% agree, teams should not benefit by not playing in a game others have to because they won a division. I've always said i think the standard should be most deserving not "best teams"

That's a different point then saying the 4 seeds winning proves the seeding was wrong
Actually when everyone was melting over LSU being the 2 seed, i made basically the same point, that it doesn't matter if you are 1 or 2, the response of course was that its better to play OU than Clemson, which is just for this particular year. In 2017 i would have rather been the 2 than have to play Bama with an extra week off.
That said i still think 4 is fine.

the 4 seeds are 2-4 in round 1 in six years.
the 4 losses were by
35
11
21
20
that’s not an anomaly at this point.
them losing by 20+ is more common than them winning.
