acc wont have an automatic bid at that point

usf will continue to get screwed

We don’t know that for sure, but that version of the ACC would still be worth more and I’d rather play those teams than Charlotte, UNT and FAU.

Wait, so, if the CFP stays at 6 highest champs + 6 at large... 

Is it possible for two G5 Conference Champs to make it in... (especially if the Big 12 champ, for example happens to unranked)?

 

Or is it directly the P5 champs + highest rank G5 champ?

It doesn't explicitly say P5+1. Just 6 highest ranked conference champs.

What I've heard is that the expectation is that the PAC-2 will cease to exist (Wazzu and OSU will likely join the MWC), so two highest-ranked G5 conference champs will make it in for the next two years. After that, it's anybody's guess, but we're probably looking at a 5+7 setup (although the SEC and B1G have proposed 12 best with no auto bids, a proposal that seems to have little support among the other conferences).

The 12 at large teams would be 8-9 of the P2, with a few from the rest

Right, de facto relegating the B12 and the ACC into a kind of "super" G5 status.

Yes, but let us be brutally honest. Do those 'other' conferences - you know, the little people - do they really matter?

I guess you think the ACC and Big 12 don’t matter. I assure you, they do. And the G5 conferences also do, though maybe not as much.
