The problem with 16 teams with auto bids for all conference champs is much of the G5 wasn't even FBS when the split happened (only 52.5% were FBS). Many came in the 2000s (29.5%). A bunch since 2012 (21.5%). Why should schools that have been FBS 10 years or less have equal access? I think D1 needs to go to 3 sub divisions. The P5 all go to 16 teams (80 total) and stay FBS. The remaining FBS teams add the top FCS schools and become FCS A, and the remaining FCS schools become FCS AA.

FBS - 80 teams
FCS A - 90 teams (53 current FBS teams plus Top 37 FCS teams) 
FCS AA - 95 teams

ACC all 14 schools were FBS in 1978
B1G all 14 were FBS in 1978
B12 11 of 12 were FBS in 1978, all 12 before 2000
P12 all 12 were FBS in 1978
SEC all 16 were FBS in 1978

MAC 10 of 12 were FBS in 1978, all 12 were FBS before 2000
MWC 10 of 12 were FBS in 1978, all 12 were FBS before 2000

AAC 8 of 14 were FBS in 1978, 10 of 14 were FBS before 2000, 12 of 14 were FBS before 2012

CUSA 2 of 9 were FBS in 1978, 4 of 9 were FBS before 2000, 6 of 9 were FBS before 2012
Sunbelt 2 of 14 were FBS in 1978, 5 of 14 were FBS before 2000, 6 of 14 were FBS before 2012

57% of the Sun Belt and 33% of CUSA joined the FBS after 2011.

64% of the Sun Belt and 55% of CUSA joined the FBS in the 2000s.

To get to 16 in each conference:

B1G candidates (need 2) - Notre Dame, Mizzou, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa State, SU, UConn
SEC (if Mizzou left) - Okie State, WV, Kansas, K State, VA Tech, NC State, ECU, Louisville
ACC (2+) - Notre Dame, Cincy, WV, UCF, Temple, UConn
P12 (4+) - Eastern (Houston, Texas Tech, Okie State, Kansas, K State, New Mexico)
                 or
                 Non Eastern (Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, UNLV, Colorado State, New Mexico)
B12 (4+) - Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, UNLV, Nevada, Colorado State, New Mexico, Memphis, USF, ECU, Temple, UConn, Liberty, SMU, Tulsa, Tulane
