Looks like the Alabama boosters are now using their bag money on CFP members since NIL came along.

I'm sure some of the final seedings will be done to ensure there are no rematches in the first or second round. OSU and Oregon could potentially play 3 times this year and they would definitely be put on the opposite sides of the bracket.

Don't really agree, if by "opposite sides" you mean that they could only meet in the final. If Oregon won the 2nd game, they'd obviously be #1. And they'd have to move Ohio St down to 6th to avoid a semifinal rematch...don't see that happening if Ohio St had a win in State College, and two close losses to #1 Oregon.

Lots will happen before final pairings. Most teams have 2 games left and conference championships for the best. Everything will change.

The "south" would be favored in 2 of those 3 games, and Georgia/PSU would be about a coinflip...doesn't seem like much of a "nightmare".
I believe he’s talking about the southern teams having to come north to play that late in the year.

Which is a factor that’s being completely overblown.

I'm not saying it's the reason why Northern teams will win but it will be a factor. SEC teams may not even be equipped to properly play up North in December, let alone the physical impact it will have on their bodies. Could you image the shock of playing in comfortable weather all year and then flying up to State College on December 20 in order to play PSU the next day. There's no acclimating to that.
