"The new format would have the highest ranked conference champions from the SEC, BIG10, BIGXII, PAC-12, ACC and Mountan West."
It's not specific conferences that get auto-bids, it's just the six highest-rated champs. And in recent years, more often than not that 6th spot would go to the American Athletic Conference, not the MWC.
Everything I'm reading says the six champions are merely the six highest ranked champions regardless of conference metrics. So the MWC certainly isn't guaranteed a spot, and neither is the PAC for that matter.
Going through the current CFP history, the PAC has averaged 1.5 teams per year that would make the new playoffs.
Question: Does this mean that all schools will have to cut back on the number of regular season games? We are starting to creep towards NFL schedules in college football.
CFB schedule is getting way too bloated and too many games. People will start to check out.
My old fogginess is showing here but I sure do miss the old days of college football when it was about more than money, TV and corporate sponsorship.
Pac12 really looks stupid for sandbagging this. It goes through anyway, but with the conference in shambles...smh
Should correct this part:
