5 year rule playoff implications for early enrollment?

If a player enrolls for spring semester after high school. Then completes 10 semesters in 5 years, would the eligibility not end prior to the playoffs/national championship game . Which falls after the start of the spring semester of the athletes 6 th year?

Pretty sure thats not how its going to work 
Spring semester starts Jan 11th next year, the NCG will be 2 weeks later
Pretty sure they dont care if you're not enrolled in spring semester at that point
It's 5 full seasons of eligibility in the end. For example senior baseball players might be graduated and not be enrolled in any summer classes but the tournament is still ongoing throughout the summer and they can play in it as long as the team is in it

Good question

The season is part of fall semester, it just happens to bleed slightly into Jan for some teams; again, I highly doubt they wont allow early enrollees to play in late playoff games because it's "january" and the "season" is from the prior semester
Probably a better question if you have any basketball or especially baseball early enrollees, but I feel like this one is a rarity anyways

To me clearly says 10 semesters, 5 years from enrollment date or 19 th birthday whichever comes first.
