At 8 autos, they would need to beat out at least one of MWC, AAC, and SBC champs.
A 12-1 MAC champ might do that, a 9-4 one wouldn't.
The top conferences won't accept any more autobids without also expanding the at-large bids for themselves.
It's not even clear they would go to 8+8, it might stay at 6 conf champs, and just add more at-large.
The P5 conferences have all the power and leverage here, and can just walk away.
We simply are not going to see a world where all 10 FBS conferences get autobids in the next 10 years.
Idk. The bigger it gets the harder time they have justifying keeping out smaller conferences. At some point they'd probably risk Congress getting involved. "You keep making this bigger without expanding access."
I dont think it will get bigger than 12 anytime soon anyway. There will be seasons where a couple teams sneak in probably.

Go take a look at who congress met with recently on topics like NIL.
Believe it was Sankey and Bowlsby (SEC/B12). Big money gets the voice in congress.

There is no requirement to have as many at large as autobid, despite what some people claim.
I don't think its an NCAA sponsored playoffs. I suspect they can do whatever they want.

This is entirely possible, and it wouldn't shock me.
If a future expansion to 16 occurs, the BEST case scenario is 8 conf champs and 8 at large.
The power conferences will not accept an expansion that doesn't give them more at large slots.
I also don't expect that expansion to happen quickly. They will stay at 12 for at least 5-10 years.
