Prior Seasons Tournament Matchups:
Postseason Setup:
- Seeding is based off of the final BCS rankings published after conference championship game weekend. The top 8 ranked teams are given first round byes before hosting
- All conference champions are given an automatic qualifier regardless of rank or record. If you’re the 24th ranked BCS team, but an unranked conference champion hasn’t been selected, they would take the 24th spot and so on.
- Conference champ tie-breakers will go off the head to head record. If it can’t be resolved that way, we will go with the highest ranked BCS or AP team. If it still isn’t resolved, the conference champ rep in the playoffs will go off of overall record
