I personally think this is what it should have been all along. The BEST 12 teams should get in.

The sad part of this is, they had to actually try that ridiculous model to see that it wouldn't work. I want to get paid a lot of money to make poor decisions. 95% of college football fans knew that wouldn't be fair.

The best 4 teams should get in, but I guess we are going to have to accept 12 and then later 16.

I don't think they are doing away with auto-bids. They are simply changing the seeding format to where conference champs are not guaranteed the top four seeds. The four P4 conference champs as well as the highest rated G5 team will still automatically qualify.

Here is what last year would have looked like under this format

The problem is How do you judge who the best teams are for the postseason when the regular season is so watered down? I don’t even watch pro sports anymore. Teams are resting players In order to just win a enough marginal games to get into the playoffs. Ohio St was ready to throw in the towell once they were a lock for the playoffs, but that skews the data for everybody else’s ranking.

I don't think the need to get rid of auto bids, but just seed teams based on where they're ranked. The big mistake was having the top 4 conference champs as the top 4 seeds. I think it makes for interesting matchups to have 1 group of 5 team in there.

Tennessee would’ve rolled SMU.

You’re right, just not the bye’s. My mistake
