This issue still occurs when you advance past conference championships. I have simmed multiple leagues when I have realigned conferences, and this issue arises.
The bracket disregards the CFP Top 25 and include conference leaders that aren't higher than the Power 4 leaders (in this league, Clemson - ACC; Tennessee - SEC; Kansas State - Big 12; Oregon (not shown) - Big Ten). You can tell there is a bug occuring with K State labeled as No. 1 (next to team's name) and Clemson as No. 5, but the bracket includes conference leaders that are lower than them.
Assuming K-State is in an 8 team league, they must not be the conference leader/champion. Even if they go 12-0 and are undefeated #1, it is plausible that 2 other Big 12 teams went 8/9-0 in conference as well and K-State was odd man out via tiebreaker. Therefore, they are not conference champion and cannot be a top 4 seed. You could theoretically have 4 non-power teams as the byes if they are the 4 highest ranked conference champions (obviously wont happen but its possible).
People are gonna be shocked when a G5 team goes undefeated and gets a 1st round bye because a 9-3 big 12 or acc champion is ranked lower than them. Wont surprise me if it happens this year with how bad the ACC is.
