I'm not a fan of the top 15 stipulation. I think it has to be an absolute thing with the conf champions because the top 15 ranking just creates so much opportunity for things to get ridiculous.

Like in this perfect storm hypothetical, say the Pac 12 has a conference championship game between teams ranked ~22-18 and ~10-15 and the lower ranked wins. Chances are not enough teams ahead of them played so do they just automatically jump ahead 5 spots over teams that were ahead of them for a couple weeks or all year but didn't play that week so we can put them in the CFP? Or do we treat it like any other week and put them at 16 or 17? Then the committee gets crushed when they're out of the playoff because they ranked them at 17 or 16 instead of 15 and people go berserk on why does the SEC or B1G have 3-4 3 loss highly ranked teams that push teams behind the top 15 threshhold. Just opens up a can of worms.

I'm in the camp of just scrapping the auto bids if it gets moved to 8. If you are deserving of being in the CFP and win your conference you shouldn't have any issues. There's plenty of room for any P5 champion that's deserving and then some cushion for at-large teams that have varying cases to be made.
