Death. Taxes. Significant changes to college football.
National news:
Numerous media members took to social media to report college football’s move toward “straight seed,” which tweaks the College Football Playoff format. This means the top four teams in the final ranking following the conference championship games will be seeded 1-4. This is a change from last season, when the top four seeds were reserved for the four highest-ranked conference champions.
Last season, byes were awarded to Oregon, Georgia, Arizona State, and Boise State. Duck fans were upset, feeling that their squad had drawn the short end of the stick after an undefeated journey up to that point.
