That just doesn’t make realistic sense.

This whole thing sucks because all of the contrived ways teams can get selected. It sucks long enough and fans will reject it, unless it has continuous expansion like the NCAA tournament. So…either it becomes auto bids, with set conferences getting set bids or it becomes a 32 team playoff in a decade or two. And hey, we all make it then!

I don't think that will happen. The top 20% need the 80%. College

It may not be that much different than in the late 70s the DI schools

Only if playoff expands. P2 doesn’t need it right now. **
HokieAl • 12/11/25 04:05 PM ET
I think so**

Not yet, the SEC seems to want to eliminate AQ’s and just stack the deck.**
Stech • 12/11/25 01:56 PM ET

other networks will want a piece of the pie as well. **
Big12 guy • 12/11/25 05:46 PM ET
I wonder if the SEC commissioner told them to blame the ACC?

ND is the diversion from the P2 playoff hoarding

I would love to see a cap on how many teams a conference can send.
reestuart • 12/11/25 01:19 PM ET
Would a hard cap violate antitrust laws?**
