Gotta think depth is going to play a major role in who is left standing at the end.

8-4 Pitt would get in over the 12-1 team... Yes
Assuming ACC is a top 5 conference.. If Liberty goes 13-0 and wins conference and is ranked 10th, then no Pitt.
That 12-1 team would probably get in as well.

NIL comes in and the NCAA says "alright, you want to be treated like professionals, here's a ton of extra games".

They’ll put a 12-1 Miami in no question IMO. Barring some crazy scenario with several 11-2 / 12-1 teams outside of the 5 automatic down to 12.

Right, but this is also why a lot of conferences are ditching the division format and going with the top 2 teams by winning percentage. ACC and Big12 hav done it, SEC is doing it. I would expect B1G to follow suit. Those scenarios ‘likely’ shouldn’t exist anymore. The conferences got wind of and probably had input on it, prior to this decision so they adjust their qualifying criteria for conference titles.

8-4 Pitt is likely not getting in the ACCG anymore unless the rest of the conference is total dog water.

"Notre Dame could go 12-0 next season and, at best, get the 5-seed and host a mid-December first round game in South Bend."
Then maybe it's time for Notre Dame to grow a pair and fully join a conference. Like anything in life, there are pros and cons.
And my comment is directed at the X porster, not @Tony4Canes.

No, it’ll actually be the end of OOC P5 matchups. They won’t be worth the risk. Everybody gets 1 FCS team, 2 G5 team and 9 conference games.

How? With the size of conferences nowadays, there is a pretty strong likelihood that the teams which make the conference championship games haven't played each other during the regular season. Then, you have to hope they play a similar conference schedule.
Imagine Miami having to play Clemson and FSU in a season and finish 7-1 in conference and 11-1 overall, but due to the luck of the schedule, Duke wins the ACC because they doesn't play Miami, Clemson, or FSU in the regular season and finish 12-0 with 4 Group of 5 OOC wins?

What I cannot seem to wrap my head around is how they think 3 games in a row at a neutral site is a good idea. For the teams playing conference championship games and finishing in the top 4, they're ending the season with 4 consecutive neutral site games. Who on Earth is following their team around like that? Who is going to fill these stadiums? It's going to kill the vibe of these games.
And bowl games will be dead in 5 years. Nobody is going to play in them. Teams will start opting out and that will be the end.

One thing for sure. The month of November is going to be epic. With 7 spots up for grabs for teams that didn’t win their conference, you’ll have double digit teams with a realistic shot of getting in the playoff.
