The 5th ranked team gets a home against the 12 seed. Which will almost certainly be the top G5. As we saw with Oregon v Liberty this year that’s a “bench your starters at half” gimme. Especially at home.
You give your fans a home playoff game. Fill your stadium and celebrate.
After you win, you play the 4 seed at a neutral site in round 2.
The 4 seed gets the BYE, but they also come into the game cold. The 5 seed is coming off a warm up where backups got plenty of playing time.
