G6 only gets 1 auto bid this year...shouldn't have any but that is progress from 0.

It is.  So Notre Dame.  If they get #12, they are bumping at worst #10.  That’s assuming the G5 is outside the top 12 and potentially one conference champ?

Notre Dame 13 team proposal - keep the current 12, ND plays the winner for all the marbles. 

 

The Fighting Irish unanimously approve.

ND and the 4 Auto Bids is bullshit. GROK AI should choose the best 12 teams based on about 100 different metrics and those 12 teams duke it out. .

P4s get auto bid now no matter the ranking for conference champs.  G6 get 1 autobid.  Notre dame gets Autobid if they finish top 12

Ef the big 10. And espn for artificially creating today’s deadline.

ND guaranteed spot if they finish in top 12 of ranking 

Auto bids for all four Power 4 conferences

Disgusting... About ND

So the committee could rank us 11 and ND 12 and they get in and we’re left out.  Marvelous.

All that means is the committee would go against their judgment in that situation and rank ND either ahead of us or 13.  They won’t let it appear ND got in because of that agreement.

I can deal with 12…the problem is the completely unfair JMU/Tulane type games that do not represent nearly the “best 12 teams.”

[davisxcole]

Should be 16 with the 4 P4 champions get an auto bid then the next 12 best teams. 1v16 and on, no first round byes and the first 2 rounds are played at the higher seeds home stadium. Then the semis & natty payed at a neutral site.

Cancel Ohio state. Why play that when only winning matters.  Play a small directional school and warm up.   If we play and lose history will repeat itself 

just not a smart decision to play this game.   

I absolutely do not agree. I would much rather have an exciting early season game to look forward to than play a meaningless game against a directional team. Things didn't work out for the team to make the playoff this past season, but to me that doesn't automatically mean we need to drop all games against P4 non conference teams in the future. Maybe don't schedule non conference games against the best of the best, going forward, but backing out of games is pretty cowardly if you ask me when you're a program like Texas with every possible advantage who should be able to compete with anybody.
