bye and having to go on the road for round one.
There will also be lots of conference title losers ranked in the 7-12 range that will then have to sweat it out, especially with the possibility of getting bumped by a lower ranked conference champ.
Most years it will probably just be the SEC and maybe Big Ten who will have both teams make the playoff no matter what. The championship games for the PAC 12, Big 12, ACC, AAC, and MWC become significantly more meaningful under the new proposal IMO.
