I have to disagree. I think the tie-ins hurt worse than big name. Even going with that route, they are picking highest ranked P5 availables. Take for example, the Orange will have hopefully a top 20 team due to ACC tie-in. When it is the years of fewer access teams, it could get interesting. Imagine the year where there is only ONE Open Access Slot, lets say ECU and BSU are top 10, would either get in over an SEC or B10 ranked next to them if they are not in the playoffs?

If they are ranked ahead of teams, yes. What this does though is prevent situations like a few years ago where Michigan and Va Tech played in the Sugar despite being ranked 11 and 13- while #6 or 7 Boise St got the shaft.

Like this year- Oklahoma will finish 9-3 and about 14. They won't be able to go to an access bowl, but say same time Kansas St beats Baylor- Kansas St would be going to one. Where before, those would have switched if either got in.
