Standardized scheduling. No more FCS teams.
I'll agree with that. You play FBS football, so you should only play FBS teams. MLB teams don't play AAA teams during their season.
I get that it's a nice, cool opportunity for FCS teams to play in big stadiums and whatnot, but they'd just have to deal with it. The FBS teams would have to deal with it too. No more rent-a-wins.

Not sure I'm following you here...

Six teams. All P5 champions, plus the highest ranked G5 champion.
I say go 8 teams. I'm not convinced there is a big enough gap between the #1 and #2 seed and #3-6 to justify giving #1 and #2 a bye (if that's what you're insinuating).
Similar to your idea, P5 champs get auto-bids. Don't know the best way to decide the other 3 spots, but have some sort of qualifier that allows a G5 champ to automatically qualify given they met some sort of criteria (like defeated at least two P5 teams and finished in the Top 12).
My reasoning would be that the #12 minimum ranking would incentivize G5 teams to schedule the toughest P5 teams they can (something that would doubly justify their playoff spot if they win those games).
UCF would've been in this year under that system.

The FCS schools only survive because of these games FWIW. Without them, they would have a team. There really should be a preseason or something like that for these games, but would never happen

Yep. If an FCS program is only staying afloat by letting their kids get beat down by Alabama, run the program better or shut it down.

There's no reason to complain that Alabama might be the best team in the SEC, and should therefore make the playoff, if they weren't good enough to name them your champion. No more back doors into the playoff.

The gap was big enough to hold all but two teams out of a shot at the championship game for years. Plus, it gives teams a reason not to rest their players in The Game or the iron bowl.
I just think eight teams is too many most years, but I wouldn't oppose it strongly enough to argue against it.
