Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2934346, member: 2141"] This is also why a expansion to 6 playoffs teams, 1 slot for each P5 Conference leader and 1 G5 slot because at last one conference will always demand that their 2 best teams are better than everyone else's #1 (and sometimes they are right) and then there would be the issue with the contractually obligated ND entry and a G5 entry as I can't see how the Playoff Committee does not allow a G5 participant, especially an undefeated G5 team, with 6 playoff slots without a major lawsuit and/or US Congressional Investigation. That said, this is what a 6 team playoff could have looked like this season with ND basically replacing the PAC 12 winner and no second team from the SEC (likely Georgia).

For this season, this could be a possibility. The biggest argument here is if a second team from the XII or B1G should get in over UCF or this year's PAC winner.
