Assuming Duke doesn’t jump into the CFP top 25 then the AAC and then Sun Belt or MWC (thinking James Madison) would get the final auto bid.If Duke wins against Virginia does the ACC title champ get an automatic
bid to the 12 team playoff? Or are there some realistic possibilities that given
the very mediocre ACC football strength the champ won't get in?
Chaos in the form of “undeserving” teams getting in won’t be good for us. It will make the power want to close the doors more. “Good” chaos would require a No. Texas State or JMU to actually win a game.If James Madison loses then it's a dog fight between the Mountain West champ and Duke to get the final guaranteed spot... a tournament featuring both James Madison and North Texas is exactly what they anticipated, especially if somehow things break in such a way to leave Alabama or Notre Dame out.
I'm rooting for chaos...
