I'm saying that after the top four are placed in the playoff, then the teams from conferences contracted with ny6 bowls are placed, then the one auto bid from g5's is placed.
After that, the rest are filled by highest ranked (by committee) at large teams regardless of who they are (like byu). And that this year after everyone is placed there are more at large spots left than there will be next year or the next or the next due to which bowls are hosting the playoff each year and the contracts of the conferences with the bowls.
