They playoff committee is not supposed to manipulate the rankings to avoid rematches in the semi-finals, although that's precisely what they did. Every committee chair faced with that question always says (with a straight face) something to the effect that they rank them one through four without regard to semi-final rematches or other outside influences. We all know it's a load of crap, but they have to make the obligatory statement, and Gary Barta did so again when asked by the ESPN analysts last Sunday.
