"The remaining three bids would go the highest-ranked teams still available, regardless of whether they’re in a conference and/or independent Notre Dame."

UConn has fallen off the face of the earth.
No conference title to play for. No path to a national title. Serious question: why keep the sport?

This is why we should just embrace independence and stop focusing on trying to get into a football league. What's the point?

The college presidents, who are not businessmen, have absolutely destroyed college athletics.

The football and playoff/invitational is going to be awful.

The obsession wit having. A college football tournament is dumb. The games aren’t gonna be competitive.

14 is to many teams.
Notre Dame is given too much deference
"G5," too little

So much money breeds corruption and the only reason for a committee is to deflect blame from any one individual, yet backslap and take credit when it goes smooth. The old bowl system would work better at this point.

Personally I don't think I've intentionally sat down to watch a non-UConn game, beginning to end, in the last 4 years.

Make the model the top 2 G5 teams country fill the rest out according to the "BCS" formula or simply the AP poll.

Presidents make the decisions. The board makes the decisions. The ADs have a lot of lee way as senior managers, but this is a CEO level decision in many cases.

And, they are ill informed
Supposedly, the Big 10 Presidents wanted to add Stanford and Cal, but Fox said no.

the only reason I can see for so many autobids is they still plan on relying on a human committee rather than a mathematical formula.

Uh no. The reason is always $$$.

Even if your conference has a bad year, you get guaranteed slots. AND perhaps more importantly you limit the ability of G5 teams to break in, even in their best of years.

This year it would been
1 2 7 from BiG - Mich wash ohst
3 4 6 from SEC - Tex Al Ga
5 15 from ACC - FSU Lou
14 20 from B12 - Ariz OkSt
19 G5 —OreSt
8 9 10 AtLarge — Ore Mo PSU

I remember watching him on a studio show after the Patriots got blasted (I believe by the Chiefs) when he gleefully said something to the effect "we just saw the end of Tom Brady". Brady went on the win the Superbowl that season and play in two more.

I think this is all clearly inevitable, but not going to put stock in a Dilfer prediction.

Nope, either get into a league or we eventually drop football altogether, Independence is a complete disaster.
What league though, any old league that plays football or are you talking P4,(B1G, SEC, Big 12, ACC)?
