As soon as one of those leagues miss out, the stake holders lose their minds. Then we are redoing the process again. Also taking as much subjectivity out of selections is better for all that are involved. I really don't like Ana-Conda-Lisa-Rice picking my teams for me.

I'm looking at if from a best team perspective. If you want a true champion then make the same rules apply to everyone. If some crappy division champ steals a conference title (say Pitt beats Clemson this week), why should they go over a better conference champ from another conference? The committee currently claims to work from the proposition that it is about best teams and not conferences.... no need to give preferential treatment to any conferences. It will work out the same most years, but I think have the best 6 conference champs regardless of conference would be a huge feature for a true playoff.

Which is why 16 teams, 10 autobids and six at-larges. Equal rep on the committee. A combination or merit and equality based model in terms of revenue. Every other major does something close to this.

I love college football and I think I speak for the overwhelming majority of fans when I say I have no--ZERO--interest in seeing some 3 loss sunbelt team nailed upon a cross in Tuscaloosa or Columbus. Now, I also think I speak for the majority of fans when I say I have a great desire to see an AAC or MWC champ that has a fighting chance take that shot. Baby steps, and screw what people think is fair and equitable and everyone gets to participate, start out with something that people might actually tune in to see. Now, if that G5 auto bid starts winning, you'd have a firm basis to argue for other G5 champs to be included, but we're not there yet.
