Gotta admit that's pretty awesome, and this is a long time coming.

My ideal playoff system would comprise of a P5 playoff and a G5 playoff, two separate tournaments.

Automatic Bids. 4-6 At-Large. A much smaller version of the NCAA bball tournament. Seeding based on rankings. Really give the MAC, Sun Belt, and that ilk a chance to make a run.

I can see where the very best team in the country runs out of gas and a team ranked 8th or 10th grinds out a title. Virginia Tech earned a title shot in 1999 without Top 40 recruiting classes on the basis of an undefeated season. Lost the game but how do you get to the championship game now unless the program produces 5 star classes every year? Making it is overrated if the capacity is not there to win it. Winning it is questionable for the 5 star programs because they have to go through 3-4 games. BCS era with the human and computer polls was a less subjective ranking system than what the CFP uses today with a committee. They should have set it up though where all the Top 25 teams go to a NYD bowl. Then if a program wins that it sets them up in the rankings the next year and boosts the recruiting classes. Excitement in college football is based around dominance instead of access. Big Ten champs start coming in with 3 losses because of increased parity in Top 25 recruiting viewership goes down.

At moment the G5 places 1 team in the Fiesta, Cotton or Peach Bowl every year. With the new format they'll be losing in the first round 9 times out of 10. That one year out of 10 making the quarterfinal where they can play in one of the 6 NYD games. If the G5 team won its bowl and had its QB returning that positions it to make a run at the 4 team playoff as Cincinnati did last year. Losing in the playoff shows the programs ceiling.

Do the 5 P5 conference champs make it automatically now? I wish it was just a 10 team tourney of conference champions. Top P5 champ gets a bye, the other 4 play a play-in round. No rankings or judgment of any sort for admittance, only seeding. I loathe the rankings and all the bickering, it's like figure skating.

I'm skeptical it will ever be more than one G5 conference, considering how disrespected two 10-2 Sun Belt teams were this year. They also said the phrase "Group of Five" is going away, but they'll just replace it with some other moniker.

The P5 isn't realigning into super conferences to give a 10-3 MAC team a guaranteed playoff spot regardless of their SOS. It's a pipe dream to think that 28% of the playoff field is going to be comprised of champions from the MAC, Sun Belt, Mountain West, and AAC. Take this year as an example. Here's what the auto bid field would look like (taking a wild ass guess at conference champions): AAC - Tulane ACC - Clemson B12 - TCU B10 - Michigan CUSA - UTSA MAC - Ohio MW - Boise P12 - USC SEC - Goergia SunBelt - Troy That means for four at large spots, you've got: Ohio State Penn State Washington Oregon Alabama LSU Tennessee Utah Kansas State Etc. You're going to have a bunch of 2 and 3 loss teams in the playoffs via autobids and leave out a bunch of those who are flat better than the autobid teams. If the goal's to have the best teams play for a championship, that's not the way to do it. And if the goal's to put the best product on the field to make as much money as possible, that's also not the way to do it.
