ND is #15 or 18, bet they would make it.

The latest for 2024 and 2025 is

The top 5 Conference Champions

7 at large. So basically if you aren’t in Top12 in ranking you aren’t getting an at large.

What this leads to is

SEC/BigTen and ND basically taking those 7 at large.

The chances of the ACC or Big12 having another school outside their champion in Top 12 is minimal.

Another reason that makes ACC schools paying a big exit fee for a similar media deal in B12 to also compete for one CFP spot there, not a real good decision.

Does anybody else feel a little schadenfreude watching other schools join the "have nots"?

An expanded playoff system would expose media bias towards some of the more tradition schools.

That media bias was already exposed this year ...... and it shouldn't matter considering there's a Committee picking the playoff teams, but it did.

So is the Pac2 going to be considered as eligible for one of those spots?

No.  A conference has to have 8 teams.

You are correct, but it's better than just two teams or four.  The more inclusive it is, the more we'll really see if some of these leagues are as good as they think they are. I know the SEC carefully curates who they play and where.  Same with the Big 10.

Yeah I think we are at the point or flaunting the bias.  It's exposed and they don't care.

I'm hoping that at 12 team playoff system will generate enough money that they'll want to expand it. I think it eventually will.

There is no reason to think that they can't expand the playoff above 12 teams.

FCS makes it work with 24.
