Let the best G5 champ earn an at-large spot. Why do they deserve a guaranteed

playoff spot? When is the last time a non-P5 team finished in the top 8? Kellen Moore's Boise St? It's certainly possible but I don't think they deserve it over the 3rd best P5 non-conference champ every single year.

Based on the system messing them I say they get the one spot. 7 for P5 is enough.

The whole point of my proposal is to get rid of P5/G5.

In that case, no auto-bids. Top 8 are in.

The issue is, left to a committee, the G5 champion would never “earn” a spot

I vote yes.

I vote yes too, but P-5 conferences will vote no. Also I have no veto power.

They really shouldn't, they'd get 7/8 almost every year

Letting in #13/#18/#25 over their up to 17 higher ranked teams is hard + $s

What about when 9-3 Wisconsin wins the Big10?

Out of every proposal I have seen, I think this makes the most sense.

It's a good proposal, but expect gamesmanship with G5's getting ranked

I would have that 'in the top 25' dependent on the AP top 25 to prevent this

1) it can't expand under the current contract 2) P5 isn't some made up thing it

Definitely wouldn't happen voluntarily, would require legal or congressional act

Take the top 8. If a P5 gets three teams in, so be it. If a G5 program

Subjective rankings are not, in any stretch of the imagination, 'fair'

What is fair? Excluding a team that had a great season for some pissant G5
