The one thing I think should NOT be done is to give one G5 team a spot in the 12-team playoff. What happened to Liberty is going to be the rule, not the exception.

Just go ahead and give the G5 its own playoff and use all those minor bowls (or most of them) to stage it.

No reason to keep a deserving P5 team out of the playoff for some politically-correct notionn.

Doing away with preseason polls would help a lot. Just because someone is a top team in a conference doesn’t make them a top team

It’s fine to not have an automatic qualifier. But if they are one of the top 12 teams then they should be in. See: Tulane in 2022 or Cincinnati in 2021

This is part of the design though, its a consolation for the team raking 5th and just missing out on a bye, and the G5 cant say "you never give us a chance". Its fine to let them in just to get blown out
