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.

The new playoff system would invite the top six FBS conference champions. A G5 conference school has the same opportunity as a power conference school to fill those six slots. No one is given anything. You have to earn it. Obviously, at least one slot will go to a G5 conference school and there are the six at-large berths available. It seems that you are insecure about the G5 conferences being able to compete with the power conferences and want a playoff system that will give the G5 conference champions participation slots.

I have to laugh at your pie-in-the-sky "G5 has the same opportunity to fill those six slots". When has a G5 ever been ranked in the top 6 of the playoff rankings? Never. You have biased people ranking these teams. So no, it's not the "same opportunity". Any G5 team getting into this current proposal will be ranked 6th and no higher every time. As for the six at-large spots, those will pretty much be filled with extra SEC and Big 10 teams.

In 2018, an undefeated UCF team only made it as high as 8th in the playoff rankings.

In 2017, an undefeated UCF team only made it as high as 12th in the playoff rankings.

In 2016, an undefeated WMU team only made it as high as 15th in the playoff rankings.

In all three of those seasons, the G5 school would have been the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the new playoff system.

I don't think that's accurate. We know that the top four seeds are reserved for conference champions, but the other two conference champions are only guaranteed spots, not the 5 and 6 spots.
