If your 24-team playoff has room for the SEC’s 6th-place team, it has room for the MAC champion. All 10 FBS conference champs should be in. Give out the other 14 spots however you want. It's not that difficult.

College football is dead to me if these people get their way to exclude the G6 schools from the rest. I’d rather Temple lose 49-14 to LSU in a first-round playoff game than end the season as a champion of a G6 bracket.
Sources tell me a G6 playoff would be worth approximately $200 million annually. That’s about $3 million payout per school annually. Given that the average g6 budget is about $21 million. A 14% annual bump would be attractive. I wrote around 2019 that a G6 playoff would be worth $166 million. So a 21% increase in that projection is significant. Nothing imminent but interesting numbers especially with @Brett_McMurphy reporting 2/3 of g6 coaches favor a playoff.

$3m a year to abandon your FBS TV deal (which is potentially worth more than $3m), lose all alumni interest, hamstring recruitment, and lose tens of millions in advertising...all so 7-5 SEC Brands who don't think about us can be happy. No deal.

Absolutely unacceptable @pac12 @American_Conf @Tim_Pernetti @TKGould @tedcruz @ncaa @CharlieBakerMA @JeramiahDickey @kdamp END THE CORRUPT MONOPOLY AT THE FBS LEVEL
Since we know that @Brett_McMurphy's poll was bullshit, and the G6 conferences all put out the same bullshit PR when they should have been threatening lawsuits, it appears CFB has been hijacked to a much greater degree than anyone could imagine. Absolute catastrophy.

The 24-team playoff should have a stipulation that all undefeated teams automatically get in. I don’t care if there’s 4 from the G6; they should all get in.

SAME! @Tim_Pernetti @TKGould @tedcruz @JeramiahDickey @kdamp STOP LETTING THEM TRY TO RELEGATE HALF OF THE FBS DOWN TO FCS 2.0 If yall let them relegate us, im not watching END THE CORRUPT MONOPOLY AT THE FBS LEVEL
I will personally boycott and encourage every G6 fan to boycott a G6 playoff if it happened. Only people who want this are B10/SEC elitists and the “coaches” Mcmurphy talked to. Funny how Danielson and Eck both said they were never asked about this but who cares about the truth

100% not worth the trade off of relegation and the loss of hundreds of millions in earned media. Plus, CFP Revenue Distribution reports the G6 received approximately $155.3 million in aggregate from the 2025-26 CFP. G6 Commissioner says no.

If I'm the G6 I'm banding together and suing the "Power 4" into oblivion for this.
The 24-team CFP era will bring tougher scheduling requirements 👀 All SEC, B1G, Big 12 and ACC programs must face at least 10 Power 4 opponents starting in 2027 📆

The end of P4 conference championships games is a sad one. Not having all 10 FBS conference champions in a 24-team format is a disgrace. But you’ll get your 7-5 blue blood in there.

It’s bad for the sport! 📉
From a G6 perspective, Were going from a guaranteed 1/12 slice of a pie, To a guaranteed 1/24 piece of a pie. And fewer p4 scheduling opportunities. It’s a loss of power and influence for the G6

Every conference champion should get an auto bid if the FBS goes to 24 teams for the CFP. This would leave 14 at large bids which more than likely will be occupied by the P4 but at least the G6 gets a fair shot. #CFP #NCAA #FBS
You will take your one autobid and like it.

If we really want to make our voices heard, don’t tune into round 1 or 2 at all. Or just tune into the “G6” game (probably what I’ll do). Hit ‘em in their greedy little pocketbooks.
Your voices were heard. Then summarily dismissed.

Our conference leaders are spineless cowards for agreeing to this, competing for a single bid while dogshit P4 teams can get in on name alone we’ve hit a new low as a sport and a country

1 G6 conference champion guaranteed 19 at-large bids Time for several G6 conferences to get really good at public relations and marketing.
This graphic explains how the seeding works and who gets home games in the new 24-team CFP. There will now be 16 postseason games on campus.

So this expanded 24-team playoff with only 1 G6 auto bid. How is this not in violation of federal anti-trust laws? If I were the G6, id file a lawsuit. The rules prevent these schools access and limits competition. @RonDeSantis

Hey @CFBPlayoff, this graphic format would work great to show the 10 automatic bids to the 24-team CFP.

Look. Unless the 24-team playoff includes the champions of all FBS conferences, it's fraudulent, like all FBS titles. But I can't believe that there are people in the real world who are upset about the potential loss of the Bell Helicopter Bowl.
They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.

The only way 24 teams makes sense is if all 10 FBS conference champions get an autobid. 14 at large is already more than enough. We don’t need more than that. 10 FBS conference winners 4 P4 CCG losers (keep CCG weekend somehow) 10 at large
