    Should be six teams. P5 Conference champs and one at large that doesn't come from any of the P5 conferences. Top two seeds get byes. Next two seeds get home games, then finish with the bowls as they do now.

    Never two teams from the same conference.

    Fixed.

        That would be horrible. Mandating that a G5 get a spot with only 6 slots? No way. That's why it would have to be at least 8 for that kinda gift.

              It's not a gift. If you go with the tenet that you don't deserve to be in if you can't win your conference it makes perfect sense.

              The higher ranked teams get the benefit of a bye or home game.

              It eliminates the beauty contest and ensures that a supposedly "superior" conference doesn't get an unfair advantage as happened this year.

              And it takes the subjectivity out of the actual selection of teams in the top 5. Of course there will be controversy at six, but that really doesn't matter.

                And it makes the conference season important, as it should be, BTW.

                    Take last year for example. Here are the week 15 top 10 AP rankings:

                    RK TEAM REC PTS TREND LAST WEEK NEXT WEEK
                    1 ALA(61) 13-0 1525 ? vs #15 Florida W 54-16 ?
                    2 OSU 11-1 1444 ? ? ?
                    3 CLEM 12-1 1396 ? vs #19 Virginia Tech W 42-35 ?
                    4 WASH 12-1 1329 ? vs #9 Colorado W 41-10 ?
                    5 PSU 11-2 1252 3 vs #6 Wisconsin W 38-31 ?
                    6 MICH 10-2 1249 1 ? ?
                    7 OKLA 10-2 1173 ? vs #11 Oklahoma State W 38-20 ?
                    8 WIS 10-3 1054 2 vs #8 Penn State L 38-31 ?
                    9 USC 9-3 1040 1 ? ?
                    10 FSU 9-3 889 2 ?
                    We would take #1 Bama, #3 Clemson, #5 PSU, #4 Washington, #7 Oklahoma....and then take #12 Western Michigan over #2 Ohio State, #6 Michigan, #8 Wisconsin, #9 Southern Cal, #10 Florida State, and #11 Colorado?


                    Nooooope.

                        Conference championships are important. They are not created equally, though. Conferences have down years - especially in G5 conferences, but all are weaker at times and stronger at others. That's why every single expanded playoff has at-larges or wildcards. You put up with a Sunbelt Conference getting an NCAA basketball bid because of the number of at-larges. And then you go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch 16-seed Arkansas State get run out of the gym by #1 seed Michigan State.

                        6 spots and give a G5 a spot? Noooo. Go to an 8-team playoff: 5 P5 champs, 2 at-larges, and the G5 gift (a gift most years, anyway).

                          Yep. That one is simple.

                          Those teams didn't win their conference. Simple. There is no subjectivity.

                          The rankings which are and have always been bullshit don't mean anything.

                            Not a surprise AA doesn't want conference champs, the Southern Crooks will bend over backwards for Alabama even though they got trucked by a subpar Auburn. They are always going to get the benefit of the doubt.

                            Delaney always brings a knife to a gunfight. Lucy will let him him kick that ball next time.

                              Nope. There is no way in that scenario that any sane person would take #12 Western Michigan over #2 Ohio State. It's just a silly idea. It will thankfully never happen.

                                You crack me up. I want the best teams in a 4-team.

                                Conference champs and at-larges are fine once it expands. Not optimal, but tolerable. Bama will be successful, regardless.
