That would only be the case if the automatic bids were to go to:

the highest-ranked teams that won conference championships.

It's possible that the automatic bids would instead go to :

the champions of the highest-ranked conference.

If the latter, then Oregon - not Coastal Carolina - would have been in the 2020 playoffs, since the PAC 12 is more highly ranked than the Sun Belt.

If you went to 16, you could include all 10 conference champions and still have 6 at larges. No byes that way. Seems simpler and all inclusive.

I assume that "the highest rated G5 champ" would be:

The champion of the highest-rated G5 conference, rather than:

The highest-rated G5 team that won a conference championship.

.

Does anyone know which of these it would be?

.

If it would be the former of the two, then UCF apparently would have been an at-large team in 2018, because the MWC was the highest-rated conference in 2018, at least according to the Massey Composite.

.

Teams are all that matters not the specific conference. UCF would absolutely have been the team in 2018.

Sounds like the team selected would be the highest ranked team that won a conference championship, rather than the team that won the championship of the highest-ranked conference, as you understand it.

If so, then that wouldn't be quite as favorable to the AAC as it would have been if the champion of the highest-ranked conference would get an auto-bid, since it would be entirely possible for a member of any G5 conference champion to get the auto bid.

That surprises me---but that language is also the only way to avoid anti-trust issues. If I really wanted a guarantee for the P5 champs----I might have gone with the top 7 champs. I cant imagine any P5 champ finishing the season 8th out of 10 champs.

I was also thinking 7, with the caveat that the Top Independent can qualify as a Champ. It gives a back-door for the Irish getting a BYE and cracks the door a bit wider for that 2nd G5 team.

I’m not a fan of the idea that the top 4 champs get the byes. If a non-champ is in the top 4, they deserve that 1st round bye.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s not fair to a 12-0 ND team to get seeded 5th on the grounds that they lack a CCG trophy.

It does. And Notre Dame AD Swarbrick is on the four-person committee that is recommending this plan!

.

Any thoughts about where this would leave BYU?

Would they be better off joining a conference, since that would enable them to compete for a G5 auto-bid, or to remain as an independent and focus on competing for an at-large bid?

It seems that the conference members (UCF, for example) would have a slight advantage, since they could compete for either an auto-bid or an at-large bid.

--They could try to win their conference championship and the auto-bid, but if they end up with a 12-1 record, ranked #11 or #12, they could still get in with an at-large bid.

BYU would have only one of these pathways. The question is whether that would be enough to persuade them to join a conference, and if so, which conference would be best for them - - the AAC or the MWC?

Interesting point.

That is putting an awful lot of power into the hands of the selection committee, and they could get into some major controversies.

It might be preferable to just set up a certain rule and go with it, rather than letting a committee monkey around with the selection of teams.

If they're going to get into "eye tests," what is to prevent them from excluding potential G5 at large teams on the basis of a so-called "eye test?"

That could get really messy!

RE: CFP Recommendation: 6 conf. champs + 6 at-large
To me, the big news is that only conference champs can get byes. I was speculating they would do this so that the Rose bowl may get the Pac 12 and/or the Big Ten champs in a quarterfinal.

Right now, it seems to appear that the only way an independent could make their way into the CFP would be via an at-large bid, but they would be competing with a bunch of good P5 teams for an at-large bid.

Notre Dame for sure, possibly BYU if they have fewer than two losses. Most of those six at large will be the runner ups will come from the SEC, B10 and possibly the other three P5 schools if it is the right brand.

The Indy’s not name Notre Dame and BYU are going to have to run the table. It will be interesting to see how not having a CCG hurts them in rankings going forward

More details from Nicole Auerbach's Twitter:

Quote:The date of implementation of a potential new College Football Playoff format was not a part of the working group’s proposal.

12-team proposal says the first-round games would take place on campus sometime during the two-week period after conference championship games; quarters would be played on January 1, or January 2 when New Year’s Day falls on a Sunday; semifinals and championship game dates TBD.

More on the 12-team rec: Playoff bracket would follow the rankings, with no modifications made to avoid rematches of teams that may have played during the regular-season or are from the same conference. The bracket would remain in effect throughout the playoff (no re-seeding).

To reiterate what we already know: CFP will not change its format this year or next. And the expansion process will not conclude before fall 2021 because there are a lot details that still need to be worked out. Today's recommendation is a first step.

CFP working group was not tasked with deciding which bowl games should be part of format but did recommend that if traditional bowls host games, teams would be assigned to their traditional bowls for quarterfinal games with priority going to the higher-seeded team.

Smart. That will work.
Basically you have to run the table if you are not in the AAC. And if you are in the AAC you can only suffer at most one loss.

It makes sense if you consider a CCG as a de facto play in game. If you didn’t win or play a de facto play-in game, you need play a real play-in game.

I’m a huge fan of this system. It provides all teams with a way into the playoffs, even the G5’s. I wonder if this will force BYU to join the AAC, since it seems like this system will benefit the AAC the most, with a clear playoff path for its teams most years.

RE: CFP Recommendation: 6 conf. champs + 6 at-large
Very surprised by the proposal (and that so many powers that be like it). Not perfect, but I am very enthusiastic about the format. Biggest critique is the guaranteed byes to four highest ranked conference champions. However, with how ND has fared in the CFP, I don't think not being a top-4 seed will really hurt them.

I always thought playoff expansion was inevitable, but not immediately to 12 teams. I'm glad the committee saw the payout and revenue potential to networks (other than ESPN) to seize.

I’m curious what the payout model will be. I assume your conference gets extra money for each at-large selection, but how much money?

What happens in a season like 2020, when the PAC 12 is left out? Do they not receive any playoff money or do they get the equivalent of a G5?
