Seeding could get kind of hairy in the CCG. I was going back and retroactively trying to apply the 12 team CFP to prior seasons and there was several times where the seeding would have created a match up between conference mates. There was even a time where two Big 10 teams would have met in the opening round, with the winner advancing to play yet another Big 10 team.

Would it be beneficial to the CFP if they tweaked the seeding of the brackets to avoid this sort of thing?

I’m just curious as to what the rest of you think. Unless the two teams happen to be arch rivals (like Ohio St-Michigan) I think these intra-conference CFP games would be bad for ratings because the games would only catch the interest of one region of the country.
