This is about control and power and *automatic* access is what that's all about. The P5 doesn't want merely a 90% or even 99% chance of making the playoffs every year: they can and will demand a 100% chance. They want their conference championship games to become de facto playoff games regardless of the rankings of the participants (and they want the increased TV revenue that comes from those de facto playoff games that doesn't have to be shared with any other league).

Autobids are going to be perceived as a power grab by the G5 and a move back to the autobids of the old BCS era.

The next move could be a plus-one where traditional bowls are preserved and more are playing for a national championship in theory going into the final 2 weekends of the season.

A team from in a conference to win a national title would have to do the following.

1. Win the division.
2. Win the conference championship game.
3. Win the bowl game.
4. Earn a Top 2 final ranking.

There would be none of this Ohio State sneaking in without winning their division crap if only 2 teams from the country make it. That is because if they don't win the B1G they don't go to the Rose Bowl and instead have to play a 2 loss SEC team or something in the Fiesta Bowl.
