A lot of guesswork of course, reasonable guesses I think, no doubt some badly wrong.  It will be a shock to some the day some 9-4 team wins their major conference and gets a 4 seed and the bye.

Nope.  ND though, and a lot of SEC teams.  I suspect we'll have a lot of very good 9-3 SEC teams left out, the schedules look pretty daunting for most.

Who do you favor over them in the Big 12?

Probably not anyone, but they are not the 4th best team in the country. And should Texas be upset by Memphis, they have an easy path.

Having to be a conference champion to be in the top 4 is just dumb.

FSU is not that good either.

I've been to some of these. San Diego was great. The one in Chicago they mention has nothing on going to Elmwood Park, a near West suburb filled with Italians. And this place: Chicago's Italian Sausage & Deli - The Original Nottoli & Son

A lot of more casual fans will be "shocked" when some 9-4 conference champ gets a 4 seed when very good 11-1 or 10-2 teams don't.  And yes, the new system IMHO over values winning one's major conference.

Let's face it. We only have two of those now.

With a ridiculous 12 teams getting in, who cares?  It's not like we're going to leave out some deserving conference runner-ups, anymore.  Errrrrbody gets in now.

Exactly. I view this as a feature, not a bug. 

One of the problems with both the BCS and the 4-team CFP is that it massively devalued conference championships. You could win your [major] conference and not have a chance to play for the championship. You could not be eligible to even play in your CCG and get a chance to play for championship, too. 

With 12 teams, if that occasionally means you get an "unworthy" major conference champ, so be it.

Sort of a ranking.  We saw the pro stadium version of this a few days ago.  Price of a beer at these college stadiums 2023:

The Top 15 Absolute Best Burgers in Atlanta (atlantaeats.com)

I wouldn't put steak houses on such a list, but OK fine.

STK here has a really good burger for $10 at lunch and HH.
