That’s not what I’m arguing. I’m not talking about the top G5 teams that are also top 16 teams being allowed into the playoffs. I’m talking about like the 22nd ranked 2 loss G5 making it in to play on the road vs a top 5 team because of the G5 auto bids.
I never stated anywhere that the G5 get auto bids. Quote me if i did? I was simply going off of the final CFP rankings from last year.

I know you didn’t but that was one of the things that were laid out in the OP and I was mostly arguing against.
Also most years it wouldn’t be like that. BYU might be intriguing (though they did struggle against the only ranked team they played in the regular season) because you want to see how they might do versus a top P5 team. But if you look at most year’s polls, the lower rank of the top 16 teams would be 3 loss P5 teams. Like Iowa in 2019. I just don’t think a team that lost 1/4 (30% under your reduced scenario) of their games deserves to be in. That’s a significant chunk of games to lose and still be in. Especially for a sport where there’s so many give me wins already. So basically teams have to show up for 5 games a year and they’re in.
