I've been proposing 8 teams with the P5 conference champs as automatic qualifiers, the top ranked G5 conference champ as an automatic qualifier, then two open spots with the caveat that if independent teams are in the final top 8 ranking, they get those spots. Reduces the teams the committee (or however the final ranking is done) to only picking one of the G5 champs and the two open slots. Then let the committee decide the brackets given the 8 teams - could be 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, etc., or set it up
