I don't get the PAC link other than his daughter.
He's a Mizzou guy with a wife who's a B1G gal, a daughter (Stanford,) and two sons who attended SEC schools (Mizzou and UGA.)

The overall #1 seed gets their choice. Alabama to Birmingham. 
The other #1 seeds go to the location closest to their home. Houston to Birmingham.
One of the main rules of the committee is avoiding rematches. Do you take Auburn and put them in the South? No. They'd face Alabama again.
Do you put them in the West? No. They'd have faced Arkansas in the first game. What about the East? No. Now Tennessee has entered the picture.
Forde's suggestion here is ludicrous: "just change the seeding." The committee seeds the teams at the beginning based on which teams are better than others.
Along the same lines, if Forde wants to talk about NCAA athletes being treated unfairly he should have started with his daughter.
As a side note: Consideration must be given to the "hard on" Forde has for Auburn considering the number of times he's written about the program, how many times they've ignored his FOIC's, etc.

In general, yes. But this group had just made a determination on where every team rates, from 1-68.
