RE: Gus Malzahn wants 8-team playoff
I am officially in the camp that in an 8 team playoff, the G5 should not have an autobid.

What the G5 should do is trade away an autobid for for the guarantee that ANY undefeated G5 champion will be included in the playoff.

From a recruiting perspective that would be the equivalent of autobids for the AAC, MWC, MAC, CUSA, SBC since any team on any given season could theoretically be in a position to run the table and go to the playoff.

This one autobid for the the G5 helps somewhat for the UCF's, Boise's, App St, FAUs that as G5 conference champions are challengers for the highest ranked G5 spot. For others making the access bowl seems like a remote prospect unless they'v regularly been close to winning their CCG (e.g. Houston, Memphis). Guaranteeing a playoff to an undefeated G5 would open things up.

It would also prevent the playoff from getting saddled with a 2 loss G5 champion.
