We've all seen plenty of discussion around the setup of this year's seeding and the more info I see, that #5 is looking more and more attractive.
Playing the weak B12 champ at home should be a win then the weakest of the 4 'bye' teams in the 2nd round. Add to this the time off. I didn't realize until yesterday that those 'bye' teams are off for two weeks before their playoff game.
All of this in my head makes me feel like the 5 is the path.
Oregon and OSU are locked into those 2 spots regardless. It'll either be us at 1 and OSU at 5 or the other way around.
Go Ducks!
