B1G proposed 28 team playoffs:

7 bids for B1G & SEC
5 bids for Big 12 & ACC
Eliminates CCG’s

I actually like this

With this post I realize that we need to “Meh” emoji instead of having to find this

It is definitely better than a a 4-4-2-2-1-3, but I still feel like it elevates the B1G and SEC too far over the ACC/B12. Maybe it would be fine since the ACC is going to take a big hit at some point in the next few years. That might allow the B12 the clout to get even (or closer too it). Anyway, it seems there is little hope for equality. Maybe we could work them down to something like 5-5-4-4-2-4 (24 total). Unlikely though.

I very much hate the subjectivity of the committee so I'm honestly starting to buy in to a world where auto-bids might be a better plan. At least for now.

I like this better.

Need a College Football Playoff expansion plan that makes sense? Look to the FCS format

This format provides a path to the Playoff for virtually every team in the FBS. Win your conference and you are in.

The big problem is how the teams are selected. There is so much money and politics in the game anymore that it can't really be objective and unbiased. I think the RIGHT model is one that does an appropriate RPI style calculation for SoS and ranking without including subjective, biased, or past season data. Good luck getting that though. Especially with the smaller sample size compared to basketball.

Unfortunately I think the best we are going to get is an AQ model that is as favorable to the Big 12 and ACC as possible. The G6 is likely screwed. If they can negotiate only one less bid (like 5-5-4-4-2-4) I think that would be ideal for the big 12. However, I think it more likely one of the proposed models will happen with the Big 12 and ACC getting two less auto-bids. I think the B1G Commish might be intent on have the B1G/SEC with 50% of the bids. Every model he has proposed has had that.
