That's only for the consolation games. Championship game and third place game don't have that rule.

Only the non-championship games (champ and 3rd/4th) avoid conference opponents.
Was wondering this too, would that bump us to 3rd place game as well?
If Michigan beats Auburn, then it's the same as if Auburn wins by more than 8. So in this case, third-place game.
That st johns win is certainly looking great right now with them racing to an early 15 point lead.
I'm not worked up if we play in the championship game or not, the small number of matchups will lead to the W-L and point differential not being a strong indicator of who's the best team. We'll play a quality team tomorrow sometime and it will be a fun game.
So if there aren’t pods as they originally said, then we really need Syracuse to keep this close against Kansas. I don’t see Maryland keeping close with Gonzaga and Michigan and Tennessee just have to win to surpass our +/-
It would be real ****** to win these two games and not even make the 3rd place game and likely miss out on more NIL money. And the 4 teams that make it are there essentially because they drew cupcakes

What are the payouts? I know the winner gets $1M. But do the 2nd and 3rd place teams get some additional $ as well?
So the NIL the players get from this tournament, does that count towards the $20m max from the school? Cause money going through the Clearinghouse is supposed to be for fair market endorsements and not a pay for play situation, right? So if this money is being paid to play in the tournament, that wouldn’t be endorsement money I wouldn’t think. And certainly if there’s additional money for the champion team.
Its going to be tough to make the top 4. We pretty much got screwed with our draw. If we played ND and Syracuse we probably would have maxed out our point differential. ******* KU.
Normally i would agree, but the pull for placing higher is driven by more prize money for the players by a higher finish.
According to this, $500k for 2nd, $300k for 3rd, and $200k for 4th.
given the b12 just signed a big deal with the players era founders, maybe Yormark can get us in the right game
Everything I'm reading online suggests that the pods do matter. I think the complete re-ranking is for those 14 that don't make the champsionship or 3rd place game.
