You missed an important aspect of certain bitching.
To make this as long winded as your method, let's play a game where it's pick the teams you play. With a singular exception, we'll create the order of selection one at a time going in descending order of most wins all time. A simple formula. Each team in the order, with a singular selection, gets one pick. Then after all have gone, we go back to the top of the selection order.
Now, I mentioned an exception and there is method to my madness. It will help prove a point.
The singular exception is aggie. To try, unsuccessfully, to reduce their crying, boycotts, and conspiracies about who plays who, we let them pick first. Not only that, we also allow them to have first 3 picks of the entire process out of order.
Aggie would get the first, second and third pick of the teams they want as "protected" or their "pod".
After that it would be Alabama with the fourth overall pick. Texas with the fifth, Georgia with the sixth and so forth through all time wins.
Now, that is the most biased and preferential treatment a team could possibly be show in the process. It doesn't work for a lot of reason, but I'm again using it to illustrate a critical point.
After aggie has selected all 3 of their picks, sometime during or just after Alabama pick, aggie would begin complaining the unfair bias of the selection process.
At a guess, it would start with them second guessing their choices and claiming they shouldn't have been forced to make all 3 at once. They would then complain they should be able to trade because they might change their mind. Then they would likely bitch about whatever selection Bama made for reasons I'm not creative enough to dream up. They would then bitch about Texas getting the 5th pick because they are new to the SEC. They would also surely generate a conspiracy around the entire selection process being designed by Texas to damage Aggie's reputation.
I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.
