If they tiered the playoffs, I could see you including the G5. So you have the 10 conference champs and 2 at larges for a 12 team playoff. Using last year as an example:

Final Four
1. Bama 
2. Clemson

Last 6
3. ND
4. Oklahoma

Last 8
5. UGA
6. Ohio State

2nd Round
7.  UCF
8. Washington

1st Round
9. Fresno State vs 12. UAB
10. App State vs 11. Northern Illinois

You give the little guys a chance but make them have to really earn it. If they win 6 games then tip your cap. It also protects the P5 financially. The bigger games have bigger payouts.

In my ideal world the P5 schools would break away and go back to the old seven conferences but with 10 teams each. That gives you 70 schools. The CCG winners plus one at large make up the playoff.

SEC minus Arkansas and South Carolina

Big 8 plus Utah and BYU

B1G minus Penn State, Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland

P12 minus Colorado and Utah

ACC minus Miami, Syracuse, Pitt, BC, ND, VA Tech, Louisville and plus old ACC MD and South Carolina

Big East current P5 teams plus Penn State

SWC current P5 teams plus old SWC members Houston and SMU, plus Memphis and some combo of Tulsa, New Mexico, Tulane, UCF, USF to get to 10.

How nice would it be to play all the teams in your conference every year? And for conferences to be regional again?
