Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 3883124, member: 212"] To my mind, this is who wins the move to a 12-team playoff: 1.) G5. They actually get to play. With the current system, they don't. Of course, expanding to 8 would take care of them too. 2.) ND. With 6 at large bids, they are way better than 50-50 to make it any year. And, they don't have to join a league. 3.) SEC, and to a slightly lesser extent, B1G. I would guess these two will nail down 4 of the 6 at-large bids most years. I expect the two richest leagues were a driving force to skip 8 and go to 12. I can hear the debate--"If you're going to guarantee those G5 slugs a slot, we aren't settling for, at most, one extra slot per year". Many years, ACC/Big XII/PAC-12 will scrap over 1 or 2 leftover spots. [/QUOTE]
