Accepting this plan will not lead to every FBS champion getting a spot in the playoff somewhere down the road.

We either demand it now or it's not happening later.

If they don't agree to it, then they have no brain. All they would accomplish is to have the autonomous conferences plus a small number of other schools break away, leaving them behind with a lot less money than they had before. They essentially would be relegated back to the equivalent of FCS which most of them ran away from in the past.

So, they can take a stand based on some nebulous "principle" and commit virtual suicide, or they can accept reality. Of course, it's also possible that future legislation will do them in anyway.

The 6-6 plan is backed by the SEC commissioner, ND, the PAC and MWC. I seriously doubt it will not be accepted.

ACC will like it as it puts pressure on ND. B1G will like it as it hurts ND.

If you go to 8 its not going to enough at-large bids. Go to 16 and no reward for finishing the season in the top 4. It sounds very much like the sweet spot.

The ACC may like it, but not for that reason. The 6-6 plan removes all the pressure on the Irish to join a conference. It's their dream outcome.
