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.

Fine with me. Personally, I'd even go a step further and just make it "highest rated G5".

5+1+2 has seemed like the most ideal solution for a while now. This year we'd get:

Alabama
Clemson
Oklahoma
Ohio State
Washington

UCF

Notre Dame
UGA
