It's the first year, so there are some hiccups, but for the most part I liked it and am trying to look at it long-term.
There is a push to get it to top 4 no matter what get the bye. I don't like that, I still like highest rated 4 conference champions get a bye. IF Ohio Sate had beaten Michigan, the B1G championship game would have been 1 Oregon and 2 Ohio state. Whoever lost would have been knocked out of the top 4, losing their bye. Why would anyone play for a conference championship and risk losing their bye? Winning your conference should mean something.
The re-seed idea after the first round could get behind. But at the same time no season is the same, so I would like a little more of a sample size before changing everything again.
Maybe Oregon and Ohio State should be in different conferences.
The teams/conferences complaining the loudest about that kind of scenario made their own beds, let them sleep in them.
