None of the Power 5 Conference champs deserve an automatic spot.
Top G5 champ doesn’t deserve a spot either.

Just pick the top 8, regardless of conference affiliation or conference title.

What’s so hard to understand?

Opinions don’t matter- winning does.


The G5 and non-helmet schools in the P5 will get subjectively held out on a fairly consistent basis in any contested spot.

So while I would prefer a slight modification (capping number of losses at 2 allowed for a P5 or top G5 autobid to qualify) I will go along with the autobid idea since #8 who lost twice getting held out isn’t the crime that holding out an unbeaten G5 is.

I think if you lose three times the autobid needs to be nullified. If two or less then you can get it. Don’t lose 20+% of your games.

No, no, no. Winning LATE in the season matters, which is exactly why winning a P5 CCG is so important when the season is all on the line.

Have the CCG’s become a de facto opening round is a win for conferences, a win for great teams that lost early (suspensions, injuries, etc.), and a win for the playoffs by securing the hottest teams.

Everybody needs to get the idea of the sacred undefeated season out of their minds. College football has playoffs like the NFL, and it is more similar to the NFL than the “glory days” of writers deciding the “champion” when there were three 10-0 teams to vote for.
