I was with you until this popular opinion:
No, just no. There are often 2-loss conference champions and more than a few 1-loss teams in other conferences. I don't think winning a crappy conference should be an automatic qualifier.
ETA: Something definitely needs to be done with G5 teams, though. They have NO shot.

I also think conference championships should mean something.

I don’t disagree. I personally think the ‘98 Tulane team could’ve competed with most P5 schools, but they’re definitely the outlier.

I would like to see
-8 team playoff
-Autobids for each Power 5 champ
-One at-large slot reserved specifically for a non-P5 team (like UCF last year. This team would usually be the 8 seed)
-Two at-larges for the two best non conference-winning teams in the nation.
-Quarterfinal games (1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5) played at home fields of the higher seeds. Motivation for teams to go for the top 4 for homefield advantage. Semis and finals continue as currently formatted.
