Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has never been shy about voicing his concerns with the College Football Playoff, and as the postseason spotlight grows brighter, his stance has become even more pointed.

At the center of Lanning’s argument is the belief that higher-seeded teams deserve a tangible on-field reward beyond a first-round bye.
