[QUOTE="dmurdock, post: 1001393, member: 381"] Yes, this codifies what we all already know. It used to be the P5+G5, without much differentiation between the 5 P5 conferences or the 5 G5 conferences, but there was a large difference between P5 and G5. Now, with the new TV contracts there are 3 distinct levels - (1) the SEC & B1G, (2) the ACC & Big12, and (3) the G5+Pac2. So yes, this codifies this with 3 P2, 2 M2 (Mid 2??), and 1 G5. In my opinion, the two extra teams actually guarantee the ACC and Big12 their 2nd team a spot when in most years that likely wouldn't happen in the 5+7 format. As for the years when the ACC is good, the ACC will claim one or more of the 3 at-large bids. But with sEcSPN controlling the narrative, I doubt there will be many years where the ACC has 3 teams in the top 13 in the nation (assuming G5 is not in top 14). I also don't think there will be many years where the ACC will have 2 teams in the top 11 if we were to stay with the 5+7 model. I would give up the bye for a guaranteed second team in the CFP.
