Auto-bids for non-champions is a bad policy.

If you look at my 14-team scenario in the thread below using the past season's CFP ranking, the SEC would have gotten SEVEN bids and the B1G would have gotten SIX. But making a number automatic will prevent the SEC and B1G from competing with one another and will also lessen the need for any kind of competitive OOC efforts from either of the P2. Moreover, some teams that are in the Top 4 of one of the P2 might rest players if they are locked into the Top 4 and aren't able to make the CG. Make every school push to win every game. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 2/22/2024, 2:59:05 PM

ESPN’s what happened at CFP meeting in Dallas. B1G & SEC desire 4 Auto bids

Could be up to 13 of 14 positions locked to the conferences

Definitely 2 very different perspectives, based on 2 very different models

And neither one cares about the fans

Agree, but does it really matter?

It’s hard for me to believe nonP2 would allow this, but maybe you want them
Stech 02/22/24 03:41 PM ET
Even if I was the SEC and B1G I wouldn't want it. It's just lame.**

Got to save public face when and if you break off. Unlike some here, I

It's a bargaining chip. They don't really expect to get 4 guaranteed spots

Could be, I think we will find out sooner rather than later.**
Stech 02/22/24 04:08 PM ET
ACC should agree to this as long as both P2's grow to (24) each ;-)**

Haha, but those that believe they will be included will probably do that.

USA Today “hated it” version of CFP meetings
