•in the 12 team 2024 format, Notre Dame had the opportunity of 7 spots as only 5 spots were guaranteed to someone other than Notre Dame (4+1 Conf Champs)
•under the SEC/B1G proposed guaranteed spots format, even if going to 16 teams (added 4 spots), it only leaves Notre Dame with the opportunity of 3 spots (reduced our opportunity by 4 spots while increasing opportunity for all others by 4)
•under this same proposed format, but with only 14 teams, Notre Dame only has the opportunity for 1 of the 14 spots..that's right, 13 of the 14 spots would be "guaranteed" to teams other than Notre Dame.

- Leave it at 12. Eliminate the auto byes. The season is long enough as it is. [NT] - Frank L - 8:46pm 2/25/25

  - 4 auto bids each is too much..3 each plus 2 each for ACC/B12 is more than fair.. - Chrisb - 8:32pm 2/19/25
  - Why wouldn't you just take the top 16-seeded teams? Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. - LanceManion - 11:22am 2/19/25

      - 16 is definitely most ideal for Notre Dame (short of joining a conference). - jakers - 3:42pm 2/21/25
