The ACC and B12 are not going to get more money if one of their teams wins the playoff to be the national champion. Only that one team will see some benefit financially. The conference will get a bit of a reputation bump, but it will be short lived and will not increase the money. My fear is that the ACC and B12 focus too much on chasing the playoffs and water down their schedules to try and create more 10 win teams. And if that happens, then the conference actually looks weaker and has fewer interesting games. The main money comes from the regular season and the championship game weekend. If the auto bids go away, it could actually be a good thing if the ACC and B12 approach it creatively.
