[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1787483, member: 26283"] It’s going to depend on what conference you’re in. For the B1G and SEC, you’re right. For everyone else, that auto-bid for a conference championship will be very important. The ESPN article I linked to above thinks the SEC/B1G are going to get at least 4 of the 6 at large spots every season, leaving only 2 at large spots to the Big 12, PAC #, ACC, Notre Dame and a 2nd Group of 5 team. So, for example, they think 10-3 Oregon and 10-2 BYU would have been left out of last year’s playoff. I think under this system, the conference champion is more meaningful than before because - at least for the P5 conferences - it guarantees a spot in the playoffs that wasn’t there before. How meaningful were the PAC 12, Big 12 and ACC championships last year when none of their winners made the playoffs? [/QUOTE]
