Could ACC be snubbed and SBC get in CFP?

Lets just be real. This format is not made for the best 12 teams. There will always be arguments as to who should be in. This method is just the farthest you can get from the best 12. It is what it is.

We went from 4 "deserving" teams to crown a champion to 10 deserving teams + two conference champs that don't belong (same last year as well, this isn't G6 specific).

10 is enough to crown a champion, and it shows no matter how far we expand there will be complainers. If we go to 24 this will cheapen the bowl system even further and it's on life support already given the player opt outs due to TP/NIL and the draft.

Yup. If we expand to 24 teams then the argument will be over 23-24. No matter how many teams we are going to hear argument and the more teams we have the worse the teams are that the argument is over.

You are right about where arguments will always be about last few in or out. That can’t be prevented. Also understand the rule for number of conference champ auto bids was to force inclusion of some schools beyond SEC and B1G. Setting the number to include some G conferences was the only way and they knew it might mean “top 12” teams likely what would be in playoffs.

The committee should have had Miami ahead to begin with to avoid some of this mess. Making the switch shows they did it to throw a bone to the ACC. Maybe that isn't right, but ND gets more special treatment than anyone in CFB. It's hard to feel sorry for them when they don't.

I've never had an issue with ND but after hearing their fans cry about not being selected over the past few days and everyone blaming the G5, I hope they lose every damn game! I say F the Notre Dame Fighting Opt Outs!!!
