They’ll go to 16 pretty quickly

I think the evidence is pretty clear so far that the bye hurts you more than it helps you

They have to make room for Notre Dame and its #1 SOS.

Are you really basing this assumption on one half of the quarterfinals? Because Ohio State's offense couldn't do much against IU either.

Teams with the bye didn’t look good last year either.

We have a one year sample size though. And Boise State and Arizona State were two of the teams with byes.
And ASU actually dominated Texas statistically. They lost in OT because they kept failing at 4th down conversions and FGs. So the argument doesn't make sense.

So basing it on 18 quarters….

So basing it on a B1G team beating a G5 team.
An SEC team sneaking by a Big XII team in OT.
A B1G rematch where the winning team barely lost the first meeting on the road.
ND over UGA was the only truly surprising result.
But muh time off.

Yes, and I'm basing it on MONEY.

last year they had to put 4 conference champs in those spots so we got a G5 team and a pretty good game from ASU

maybe battle tested means something

Let’s just go back to 8 instead of 16
Better yet walk it all the way back to two teams picked by a computer
