re: CFB Playoff Exec Direc. said Saban and Meyer advised against 8 team playoff

The only good thing about an 8-team playoff is that teams could schedule harder since they could probably lose 2 games and still make it.
If they go to 8, they will guarantee the P5 teams their conf champ. That fricking blows. There are years where a team could be 9-3 from the ACC and make it in over a 1-loss team that finished second in another conference. Political and media pressure will NEVER let them just choose the Top 8 ranked teams. For that reason, I don't like it.

Your scenario is likely, but there would be 3 at large bids too, so that takes care of the top 3 teams that weren't conference champs.
So this year you would have had:
Alabama - SEC champ
Clemson - ACC champ
Michigan St - B1G champ
Oklahoma - B12 champ
Stanford - P12 champ
Iowa - at large
Ohio St - at large
Notre Dame - at large
I just based these on the final CFP rankings.
