Agreed. It's a great idea, but adjust it more like the lacrosse tournament
IIRC, Champions of each conference get an automatic slot (yes, all of them). I would not have a ranking cut off for eligibility.
Include the highest ranked independent team, too.
Award rest of slots by committee or poll rank after that.
The 8 highest ranked champions/independent host the first game.
Assign the non-hosting teams based upon geographic proximity, avoiding rematches or same conference match ups as much as practical.
I like this because it leans heavily away from reputation and past years performance as a big criteria. That is causing the never ending cycle of Alabama/Ohio State/Clemson/Oklahoma we are seeing now.
