I appreciate how this almost completely (possible UGA-TAMU matchup excepted) avoids having rematches or conference games in the first two rounds. Having an opening round game be a rematch of a regular-season game, especially a conference game, is repellent to me.
I hope it shakes out to be something like this, even if I don't love the idea of one conference having 3 of the 4 BYEs.
Those rematches are the worst! To be honest, I didn't set the bracket at all to avoid them, it's just how the rankings shook out.
I'm sure the Big Ten loses at least one bye, so that should make that easier. But this would be such a fun bracket! Here's to hoping that the committee agrees
