A Power 5 AD in New York this week said a specific 8-team playoff model is circulating around the CFB world that would incorporate bowls, including a bowl-sponsored national championship game.

The model:
- 5 auto bids for P5 champs
- 2 at-large
- 1 Group of 5

This is the model I’ve long advocated as a excellent compromise that could stand unchanged for decades. Not too big. Not too small. Multiple ways to get. Best of all—-it provides a legitimate access window for every team at the start of each year. Basically—for every team—it starts with winning your conference. I like that.

I mean obviously as a fan of an AAC school I'd rather see the AAC get an auto bid, but since that's never happening this is the best you could hope for as a fan of a non-P5 school. It makes your path to get to the playoff far easier at the top G5 schools vs your middle to bottom tier P5 schools. Boise for example would be a legit playoff contender every single year, while NC State (who hasn't won the ACC since the 70's and is in a division with Clemson and Florida State) has virtually no realistic chance.
