4 highest ranked conference champs are top 4 seeds and get a bye. This has been established. If you are saying this is not the case, we’d all love to see a link.

im saying the same thing. A team can win their conference and not get a bye. You are not guaranteed a bye winning your conference. If the Big12 conference champion is ranked lower than the B1G, SEC, ACC, and Mountain West champion, they get no bye.
The power 4 conference champs will almost always be ranked higher. I'm just saying it can happen.
Only done during the Semi Finals. The Quarter Finals are already set: 1 seed = Rose / 2 seed = Sugar / 3 seed = Peach / 4 seed = Fiesta. Obviously these will rotate yearly, along with the Cotton and Orange Bowls. I’ve read that the Rose Bowl prefers the Quarter Final match to coincide with NYD and the Rose Bowl parade festivities.
Gotcha re: semi finals, but I don't find how the quarterfinal seeds are already set. From the official site:
"The four highest-ranked conference champions will be assigned to Playoff Quarterfinals hosted by bowls. This will be done in consideration of historic bowl relationships and seeding."
That makes a heck of a lot more sense than establishing seeds in advance.
Maybe I misread it, because the bracket I saw had Rose hosting the one seed. I can’t find anything on the Rose Bowls official website as to who they’ll host. Not sure if it’s not already set, who picks where the one seed will play (CFP committee?).
it's not hard to understand. It's actually pretty clear and simple if you read it.
100% agree.
This is why I have always proposed a 16 team playoff with home field on campus for minimum first two rounds (preferably semi-finals also).
