Yeah I’m not sure what I’m missing here.

There are only 4 major conferences

Big 12 is barely hanging on as a "major" and the ACC might not exist by then.

Best solution is keep it at 4 but that doesn't make the money machine brrrrrr more

This is going to force access to the CFP for teams who wouldn't go 6-6 in the SEC.

Its the equivalent of giving one CFP team a bye while another one is going to end up playing a 10-2 LSU or Bama team in the first round who only have losses to UGA and Texas or whatever.

It's not the Power 5 Champions. It's the 5 highest ranked Conference champions. This could (and will) include Group of 5 Conferences.

it originally was going to be the six highest ranked conference champions… They've reduced it to five now… That was the right move to make

The wording suggests that no one conference is guranteed a bid, just the five highest ranked champions.


I could easily see a bad year for the Big 12 or ACC causing them to get hopped by the Sun Belt or MAC champion.

They are going to make sure that at least one G5(6?) team gets in.

I have no problem with that.

There are now only 3 major conferences. I can see giving a spot in the playoff to a big 12 school if they’re ranked in the top 10 but not an automatic spot for their conference champ.
