half of the time.

We already have evidence with the NY6 selections that the AAC does not get that spot every year. Boise has gotten it a few times. The MAC has gotten that spot 2 times.

But Notre Dame is our BFF in independence 😉

Plus Wyoming, Colo State, SDSU (et al) are still butt-hurt about independence

The Independence v. Conference Affiliation analysis changes with an auto G5 bid

That settles it. The big debate will be how to implement.

The MWC is a contender for the g5 bid, for sure.

Doogal McCougar

Only the P5 conf champs would be included. One G5 and 2 at large (P5).

Ugh, 16 teams is worse than 4. Teams with legitimate chances of winning the CFP

I like 16 too. Then all conf champs and 5 at large. Round 1&2 at higher seed.

I like all-champs CFP model, but would have play-in games, not 16-team model

Doogal McCougar

Would you do 12 teams then with 10 champs plus 2 at-large?

jreid191

I see it more more like the WCC tournament. 14 teams - 10 champs, 4 wild cards

I don't see a 5 round playoff ever happening in CFB. Even the NFL only has 4.
