I don't think you can make all 5 P5 conference champions automatically make it unless you have 8 teams. If you have an 8-team then I think the best way would be P5 champs and 3 at-large. Maybe, MAYBE, in that scenario you could give the best G5 team a chance. Problem is most years even the best G5 team is nowhere near that level. Sometimes you do get a UCF from last year where you could at least argue they deserve a shot, but that's far from every year. So I don't think you can automatically give a G5 team a spot every year.
I just think if you give put a brighter spotlight to the "lower tiered" teams, that will garner more competition in recruiting and will only make the competition on the field better all around. I believe we were able to "turn" at least 4-5 recruits from other schools to come to UCF with our whole "We're the real National Champions" recruiting thing, and it helped that we were able to showcase how good the program was on national TV against Auburn.
