When we had the BCS #3 was upset. Now that we have 4 in #5 will be upset. If we go to 8 #9 will be upset and so forth and so on.

But the arguments of the 9th and 10th (Wisconsin, Auburn or Washington) will be weak. They will not have won a conference championship game, and are vying for an at-large against somebody with a resume like Alabama or last year Ohio State, and they wont be top 5 in the computer or poll numbers.

Right now the conference champions do not get a bid. The argument of conference champion denied is far stronger than a 2nd or 3rd choice from the SEC, B12, ACC, B1G or P12. Those schools get the consolation New Years Bowls. Auburn laid an egg, making their case extremely weak, and justified the committee taking Alabama as the wild card instead of them or Ohio State.

So I think you are fundamentally wrong on this. Including all the P5 conference champions, plus the top G5 will turn the whiners into the equivalent of the NIT teams who complain about not getting the 35th or 36th at-large bid for the NCAA tourney.
