Auto bid? Are you talking about the Rose Bowl?

Oh, for next year? Isn't there some rule about minimum number of members for:

  • NCAA "autonomous" status (aka "power" conference)
  • NCAA tourney (March Madness) auto-qualifying status
  • Eligibility to auto-qualify as a top 6 conference in the CFP when it expands to 12

I think that number is like, 9 members or something. So OSU and WSU are gonna have to find 7 or 8 friends real quick.

Also, it's not completely auto. A G5 champ can get in over a P5 champ.

True. In most years based on the rankings, all 5 P5s would be in, plus one G5 as the sixth auto-bid, but there could have been scenarios where 2 G5s could leave a P5 out.

I guess it's worth noting that the PAC was resistant to this 12-team CFP model, even though it's vastly better for their conference than the 4-team version. They really wanted a fully automatic playoff berth (and now given how their conference is imploding, that auto-bid could have been a bit of glue to hold them together).

Aren't all of the teams leaving before next year when the expanded playoffs start?

Also, technically they're picking the top 6 conference champions. That doesn't mean that all P5 conference champions are getting in.
