I finished the first part!
Presented below is how the conference champions will be seeded for my 16-team NCAA Football playoff. For my tournament, the first two rounds are played at the campus location of the higher seed. Last two rounds are done with the bowl set up we have now.
Teams are somewhat grouped as geographically as I possibly can while maintaining seeding order. Geography does not play a factor in determining at large seeds, and now that I'm thinking about it out loud, may not play a factor at all. Other than grouping.
Seeds are awarded based on:
*wins in conference championship games are counted as another conference win
This will take you to my Google Doc that I used to set everything up
Here are my seeds for the conference champions

Here are my seeds for the conference champions
- Clemson
- Western Kentucky
- San Diego State
- Arkansas State

And the first 5 at-large teams - Ohio St
- Iowa
- Notre Dame
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma State
that 16th team is up to all of you. I've got it narrowed down to TCU, FSU, and a 10-2 Navy team (they still need to beat Army (and yes, my numbers suggest that a win for the Middies is enough to give them some serious consideration))
Once the last team is set, I will release the bracket!
