All conference champs get auto-bid, then have another 6 at large teams. FCS has a 24 team playoff, FBS can have 16.

Only loser in this situation is the bowl games, any bowls not in the playoff would essentially be NIT type games that get very little attention. Most of the playoffs would likely be on campus too, likely only semifinals and the final at neutral sites.

The P5 conferences would be losers in this scenario. They would lose their lucrative conference championship games in exchange for having to risk injury against first round body bag opponents.

Yeah, I don't think 10 autobids would really work for FBS.

Alabama/Northern Illinois would be a bloodbath.

They never seem to worry about scheduling those games in regular season, in the case of the SEC in November.

Regular season is one thing, but no one except die hards are going to tune in to watch that.

I'm all for having G5 teams in the playoff (and even guaranteeing at least one), but not on an autobid basis.

For the 8-team playoff, how about 1 G5 auto-bid and they have to be ranked in the top 20?

Most teams end up in a bloodbath against Alabama this year.
