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.
