See, that is a pretty big deal.
Maybe the importance of the non-CFP bowls is diminished by the CFP. But all BYU has to do to get into the Peach, Cotton, or Fiesta Bowl is be the best available team. That is way better than previously.

Ok, hold on. Now we are getting down to the brass tacks.

I think it depends on which bowls are the 'semifinal games'

All P5 technically are negotiated for a #2 or even #3 if they have

There are 6 at-large "spots" available, but likely fewer at-large teams

And if #2 also makes the playoffs (not likely I know) then they'll take ACC #3
