A G5 team.
Yes but . . .
My understanding is that they didn't actually name leagues it is just "five highest ranked" so there is at least a theoretical possibility that say the B12 Champion could be excluded if the AAC and CUSA Champions were ranked higher (along with the SEC, B1G, and ACC).

Indeed but they had to force one G5 into the mix.

Right. And I think that's the potential defense against an "unworthy" P4 team somehow sneaking into the CCG and upending a "real" team. 

I.e. trying to avoid the 2010 UConn problem.

True, but with the leagues switching to "best two" instead of divisions the chances of one of the P4 producing a Champion outside of the top-5 are probably remote.

And the tallest midget will host a Penn State or Utah and get thumped in front of their home crowd.

Yeah, it helps. Makes sure you don't have someone like a Purdue getting uppity and thinking they're gonna get not only a CFP invite but a bye into the quarterfinals. Gotta keep the riffraff out.

2023 12-team playoff, with 2024 alignment (so yes, a wonky preview):

1 Michigan (B1G Champ) vs winner of 9 Ohio State @ 8 Georgia

4 Arizona (XII Champ) vs winner of 12 Penn State @ 5 Liberty (HS Champs)

3 FSU (ACC Champ) vs winner of 11 Missouri @ 6 Warshington

2 Texas (SEC Champ) vs winner of 10 Oregon @ 7 Alabama
.
5 Big Ten Teams
4 SEC Teams
1 ACC
1 XII
1 Biberty
.
Under this model, the #2 team in the country is the 6 seed.  Yeah, they'd have played UM, but you're still going to wind up with wonky seedings like that.

Are you sure?

Did they specify that the #5 league Champion gets the #5 seed?

Isn't that why it's a 5+7 and not a 4+8?

Wow, I'm surprised they gave the G5 a home game. Seems silly since, per your example, the LibertyBiberty game would get played in front of 25k at Williams Stadium instead of 100k+ in Happy Valley.

I suppose LibertyBiberty could relocate the game to Charlotte or DC.

If I was them, I'd want as few people witnessing that game as possible.

I don't think anyone has shown data in this thread saying the fifth-highest conference champ will receive the #5 seed and a home game. The top 4 conf champs receive a bye.

I'm guessing Liberty Biberty is going to be the #12 as we all expect, unless someone actually has verified info that hasn't yet been posted here.

Anyway, it's only a 2-year thing.
