ESPN reporting at least some G5 resistance to the P5 auto-bid model

"This season illustrates the concern for automatic bids, as No. 17 Pitt and No. 18 Wake Forest will play Saturday for the ACC title, and would be guaranteed a spot in a 12-team playoff with automatic qualifiers despite their lower rankings. It's also possible No. 19 Utah could win the Pac-12 this year.

'I don't want to see a system that would reward privilege for the sake of privilege,' American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco told the Associated Press in mid-November."

Interesting how ESPN focused on playoff top 10 -- HokieAl 11/30/2021 7:18PM

Expansion is coming either now or later, the question is how many at large -- Stech 11/30/2021 7:35PM

ESPN wants it now so they wouldn't have to bid on it. ** -- Mr. Touchdown 12/01/2021 1:22PM

The SEC doesn't want to be limited in the number of playoff teams -- EDGEMAN 12/01/2021 10:23AM

Mike is just setting things up for 5 SEC teams to get in. -- Mr. Touchdown 12/01/2021 1:20PM

Perhaps, but the same argument can be made for the G5 -- OU_Sooner 12/01/2021 2:19PM

Which is why it should be 6 highest rank conf champs and 2 at large ** -- Hokester 12/01/2021 3:36PM

Yep ** -- Stech 12/03/2021 8:40PM
