13 ADs - probably almost exclusively SEC and Big Ten schools is my guess.

I'm not sure about the Big Ten. While they have gotten into the playoff a lot,

BYU needs to start lobbying P5 ADs right now to include top-rated non-P5 team

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.

AAC might be tops, but likely will not get that spot 9 out of 10 times. Maybe

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.
