What you guys never address is the bias in the polls. You throw out rankings as if they mean something. They don’t because they are just opinion. Look at UGA. They were ranked #1 all freaking season and lose 1 game by a small margin and suddenly they aren’t even a top 4 team?

exactly. determining byes based off polls makes it still invalid. If a team has to play an extra game because of being ranked #5 instead of #4, you cant tell if that extra game changed the outcome.

it'll be fine if a G5 school is in the 5 spot, but what if it's a P5 conference champ. this format leaves that possibility open.

From most interpretations the 5th conference champion doesn’t auto get the 5th seed. They are seeded by rank. So there’s a good chance that the shite tier G5 champion will be ranked 12th and will have to play the 5th seed on the road.
