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.

Agree, but does it really matter?

It’s hard for me to believe nonP2 would allow this, but maybe you want them

Even if I was the SEC and B1G I wouldn't want it. It's just lame.**

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

ACC should agree to this as long as both P2's grow to (24) each ;-)**
