[QUOTE="Jared7, post: 3018698, member: 7831"] Under the proposed system, the 4 byes will go to the Top 4 ranked conference champions, which will be determined by the conferences' rules - all of which have CCG's at present. So, the byes will go to the winners of the CCG's who emerge as the Top 4 ranked by the Committee. If you're arguing that these are likely to be 4 P5 champs rather than G5 champs, I agree - the proposal most certainly does not establish G5 parity. But if you're arguing that it favors "bluebloods," - that's not really accurate. If Washington State, TCU, Northwestern, Wake Forest and Kentucky are the P5 champs (none of which are football "bluebloods"), then 4 of those will get the byes. The proposed system values championships (for the byes); blueblood status is likely to be helpful only for the at large slots and the seeding. This will be presented to the CFP Board of Managers on Tuesday by the task force; if approved, it will start going to the other stakeholders. At this point, it looks like it is on the fast track for approval. According to various articles, it was actually approved over a year ago by the task force (before COVID) but it was kept secret as the task force worked through the details. The revenue shortfalls due to COVID only accelerated the process - it did not cause it. [/QUOTE]
