How many Aggie appearances in the 4 team CFP?
All the lists I'm looking at appear to be missing relevant info that you possess.

Lawyers. Baby Conferences retained counsel to hedge common sense

To increase general interest in CFB. It is not a difficult concept.

Duke and Indiana in the CFP.
Yeah I don't think they "let" Indiana in. They earned the number 1 seed on the field

They should just have Miami be the ACC representative, get an extra SEC team, include ND if you feel you must then call it a day. Not perfect but better than the alternative

That wasn’t the topic,
And that wasn’t the point
So now you’re just acting stupid

This line of thinking baffles me. If Miami is one of the 12 best teams, which I grudgingly agree that they are, then they should be in - but the notion that you have to have some kind of representation for each of the major conferences is stupid.
In the years where there was only a 14 playoff, and five power conferences obviously one conference was always going to be left out, and some years there were two. That's explainable for the reason that some of those conference champions just weren't very good.
Why would that logic not extend to a 12 team bracket as well?

That's exactly the point. Expanding the field to 12 allows middle of the road programs like A&M to finally get a seat at the table.
I'm not pretending that there weren't years past where Georgia wouldn't have benefited from an expanded playoff field, but it's rich coming from a program who hasn't seen success on a major scale since Pearl Harbor acting like you're a Blue blood program in the sport.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and modern college football is very much a what have you done for me lately affair. It just gets even uglier for programs that are historically 8-4 guarantees and still haven't done anything significant.

No, that’s not the point at all the point was allowing G5 teams in
1 loss teams from the SEC should be in and aren’t “middle of the pack”
And 1 loss sec teams have been left out before
