   Somehow, I don't see the CFP committee telling, say, Alabama, "Sorry that your

   upright, and by NCAA    
   rules, it was not reviewable, and since only conference champions can be   
   seeded 1-4, you are a #5 seed, but since 12 seed Boise State won its   
   conference, your first round game is in Boise...in mid-December. Hope you like   
   the cold."
