I am saying what others suggested
If there aren’t going to be auto bids, they should contract to 8
The thing that devalues the regular season isn’t an expanded playoff…it’s subjective criteria to get in.
I liked 12 if there were going to be 7 conference champ auto...
This has been widely floated in the expanded playoff model.
So if it is a 24 team playoff:
Big ten 7
Sec 7
Big 12 4
ACC 4
Group of 5 2
Conference title weekend becomes play in weekend:
Big 10 7 vs 8
SEC 7 vs 8
Big 12 4 vs 5
ACC 4 vs 5
Group of 5 1 vs group of 5 4
Group of 5 2 vs group of 5 3...
Agree
Maybe not top 5 but for sure top 10
In 6a there is guaranteed to be no more than 11 teams left unbeaten after Friday

Not sure why you would?
